AlphaFold2 (ref. 1) has revolutionized structural biology by accurately predicting single structures of proteins. However, a protein's biological function often depends on multiple conformational substates2, and disease-causing point mutations cause population changes within these substates3,4. We demonstrate that clustering multiple-sequence alignment sequence similarity enables to sample alternative states known metamorphic proteins with high confidence. Using this method, named...
