Tool request: OpenFold3 #8144

Description

@B0r1sD

Hi folks

After multiple demands in our institute, and general interest by @agdiaz and @Pathmanaban, I'm initiating the wrapper for OpenFold3.

OpenFold3-preview is a biomolecular structure prediction model aiming to be a bitwise reproduction of DeepMind's AlphaFold3, developed by the AlQuraishi Lab at Columbia University and the OpenFold consortium.

Read more about it in their official documentation: https://openfold-3.readthedocs.io/.

At the time of writing, their license is Apache v2, which according to https://opensource.org/license/apache-2.0 in combination with the IUC's contributing guide means it is wrappable.

I did initiate the wrapper already locally so if anyone else would be working on it or wanting to contribute, this issue was made for that (as did not find anything back online). I will base myself largely on the Alphafold2 wrapper as pioneered by @neoformit and @GraceAHall (first commit ref). I will also make use of https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy-skills/blob/main/tool-dev/SKILL.md to help me with all caveats I might encounter.

Noting that AlphaFold3 was also recently 'opened' to Apache v2.0 (ref commit: Change the code license from CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 to Apache 2.0 · google-deepmind/alphafold3@7b197fe, but the Terms of Use for the model weights did not change (ref), and they still have to be requested personally to DeepMind.
