Protein language models (PLMs) have transformed our ability to learn from evolutionary sequence space, but protein engineering ultimately asks a different question: not what evolution selected, but what we should build next. Zero-shot likelihoods therefore provide useful, but not universal, measures of fitness and can...

Protein structure prediction has expanded structural databases to hundreds of millions of domains. Classifying these domains into homologous superfamilies reveals evolutionary and functional relationships that can persist despite low sequence similarity. As the size of structural databases continues to grow, homology c...

It is found that reverse folding algorithms are unable to energetically minimize evolutionary conserved frustration at specific residues, even when detrimental to overall structural stability, and it is proposed that these frustration hotspots act as architectural spandrels, inherent physical constraints of the fold th...
