Disclaimers & Data Use
Product draft—not a finalized privacy policy or legal agreement.
Educational use
Foldwords is an independent educational resource. Its glossary, study activities and AI-generated explanations are for educational and informational purposes only. They are not medical, clinical, diagnostic, treatment, legal or other professional advice. Check important scientific claims against the linked sources and relevant research.
AlphaFold predicted data
Protein structures and related information from AlphaFold Database are computational predictions. Confidence varies; predictions are not guaranteed to match experimentally determined structures and are not validated or approved for clinical use. Foldwords retrieves existing records; it does not run AlphaFold predictions.
