Installation notes
alphafold itself was installed in the same procedure as the previous verisions.
(patch to alphafold/common/residue_constants.py is no longer necessary!)

update python env
Python environment built on initial installation (Jul, 2021) was also used.
However, "pandas" was not available in the original environment. We thus installed it via conda.
The environment was a mixture of conda and pip, but we can install pandas without severe conflict or vast updates,fortunately.
Already-existing alphafold versions won't be affected by this update.

Updated databases
Four databases listed below were updated/installed. For the other ones, we employed ones from Aug 19, 2021 installation.
alphafold model parameters (multimer models were added)
PDB (mmCIF format)
PDB seqres
these two pdb data were downloaded from Japanese mirror site on Nov 5, 2021.
(according to the official page, these two must be of the same date.)(the latest record seems to be Oct 20, 2021.)
UniProt (newly installed for multimer)
For Uniclust30, 2021/6 version is employed as inAug 19, 2021 version.

scatter load of uniprot database (for Lustre filesystem)[root@ccfep4 uniprot]$ lfs migrate -c 20 uniprot.fasta

update of wrapper script
Wrapper script was also updated, since there were some changes on optional parameters.
run_alphafold21x_rccs.shsample script (multimer)
In case of multimer, multi-FASTA files must be specified for -f option amd model_preset(-m) parameter must be"multimer".

# at least 8 cpu cores will be requested internally.
# in this sample, we employ 12 cores to get enough amount of memory.
# not sure how much is necessary/required, though.
# note about available memory:# Available memory amount is proportional to ncpus value.
# If you need more memory, please increase ncpus in the header.
