Devlog 5: FoldCheck can finally interact with real AlphaFold structures. Today I worked on connecting FoldCheck’s interface to the actual molecular structure inside Mol*.I first changed the 3D viewer so it can load a real AlphaFold prediction for p53 (UniProt P04637) while keeping the original 1CRN structure as the homepage demo. The bigger challenge was getting clicks inside Mol* back into React. After working through Mol*’s interaction events, FoldCheck can now detect which part of the protein I click and identify the real residue, for example MET 384, PHE 270 or SER 269 on Chain A.I then connected that data to the FoldCheck workspace, so the Selection Details panel updates automatically when a different residue is selected. I also found an important UX problem while testing: clicking individual atoms can expose Mol* labels like CG [idx 1946] | LEU 252 | A, which aren’t beginner-friendly at all. I’m going to replace these raw labels with structured information and build a dedicated The Basics section that explains the scientific concepts used throughout FoldCheck. Next Ill be extracting the actual pLDDT confidence value for the selected residue and turning the selection panel into an actual evidence based analysis
