## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability protein-folding-alpha-mcp-6510fb4f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you predict the folded 3D structure of this protein sequence for me: MKTAYIAKQRQISFVKSHFSRQLEERLGLIEVQAPILSRVGDGTQDNLSGAEKAVQVKVKALPDAQFEVVHSLAKWKRQTLGQHDFSAGEGLYTHMKALRPDEDRLSPLHSVYVDQWDWERVMGDGERQFSTLKSTVEAIWAGIKATEAAVSEEFGLAPFLPDQIHFVHSQELLSRYPDLDAKGRERAIAKDLGAVFLVGIGGKLSDGHRHDVRAPDYDDWSTPSELGHAGLNGDILVWNPVLEDAFELSSMGIRVDADTLKHQLALTGDEDRLELEWHQALLRGEMPQTIGGGIGQSRLTMLLLQLPHIGQVQAGVWPAAVRESVPSLL

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need on-demand, pay-per-call protein structure prediction without managing your own AlphaFold or Rosetta infrastructure. Ideal for agents in drug discovery, bioinformatics pipelines, or research workflows that need to fold individual sequences programmatically with crypto-native micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed protein sequence string returns error
- Non-biological data string may return meaningless or error results
- Very long sequences may exceed processing limits
- Payment failure (402) if USDC payment not properly attached
- Empty data field returns validation error

## How this service works

The premier global index of 1,069 monetized MCP nodes across 205 specialized subdomains. Gasless USDC runtime settlements via x402 V2 Spec on Base L2. Save 95% token context.

## Output

Returns predicted protein folding structure data including likely conformation, secondary/tertiary structural information, and folding coordinates or scores for the submitted protein or peptide sequence.
