The monkeypox virus (MPX) belongs to the orthopoxvirus genus of the Poxviridae family, is endemic in parts of Africa, and causes a disease in humans similar to smallpox. The most recent outbreak of MPX is already affecting 110 countries with 86,956 confirmed cases since May 2022 and has consequently become a focus of interest. In particular, a molecular understanding of the virus is essential to study infection processes and pathogen-host interactions, predict tropism changes, or guide drug-development and -discovery as well as vaccine-development or -adaptation at a very early stage. Here we provide the structural proteome of the currently circulating MPX virus: We computed a consensus genome sequence from 3,713 viral isolates sampled during one year after the outbreak and predicted the structure of 210 proteins contained in this consensus genome with AlphaFold2 and ESMFold, as well as, for 148 proteins, which matched to proteins deposited in the PDB, with homology modeling. In total, 568 distinctive structural models are contained within the folder provided here.
