QSAR-Guided Generative Framework for the Discovery of Synthetically Viable Odorants

The discovery of novel odorant molecules is key for the fragrance and flavor industries, yet efficiently navigating the vast chemical space to identify structures with desirable olfactory properties remains a significant challenge. Generative artificial intelligence offers a promising approach for de novo molecular des...

RNAGenScape: Property-Guided, Optimized Generation of mRNA Sequences with Manifold Langevin Dynamics

Generating property-optimized mRNA sequences is central to applications such as vaccine design and protein replacement therapy, but remains challenging due to limited data, complex sequence-function relationships, and the narrow space of biologically viable sequences. Generative methods that drift away from the data ma...

Designing Protein Structures from Natural Language

A central challenge in de novo protein design is generating proteins with desired structural and functional properties. Existing design models typically require a dedicated input representation for each property, limiting the design objectives they support. We develop Prompteina, the first all-atom structure generation...

MORAD: Reinforcement Learning with Multi-Objective Rewards for RNA Inverse Design

We introduce MORAD, an online reinforcement learning framework for backbone-conditioned RNA diffusion models that trains a single shared policy across diverse target backbones. Structure-conditioned RNA inverse design seeks nucleotide sequences compatible with a target three-dimensional backbone, yet existing reinforce...

La-Ribo: RNA Co-Design via Geometry-Latent Flow Matching

RNA function arises from the coupling of nucleotide sequence and three-dimensional structure, motivating their joint design. Coordinating global folding with nucleotide-level detail remains challenging under limited structural supervision. We introduce La-Ribo, a generative framework for RNA sequence-structure co-desig...

A Shortcut to Structure in AlphaFold 3

AlphaFold 3 predicts protein structures with remarkable accuracy, yet how structural information emerges within the model remains poorly understood. Here, through causal interventions on internal representations and direct probing of every Pairformer block, we trace the formation of global protein geometry and identify...

Information-Dense Synthesis for Molecular Discovery

Machine learning can accelerate molecular discovery by designing molecules and planning experiments. However, many scientific challenges demand molecules with very rare properties, and in this sparse setting, existing algorithms offer little gain over random guessing. We propose a method to efficiently search large reg...

Mathematical Invariant-Enabled Topological Neural Networks for Molecular and Materials Property Prediction

Existing molecular and materials learning approaches often rely on a limited set of structural representations, which may capture only selected aspects of complex three-dimensional structure. Here, we introduce mathematical invariant-enabled topological neural networks (MITNNs), a framework that represents complex stru...

Automating MD simulations for Proteins using Large language Models: NAMD-Agent

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are essential for understanding protein structure, dynamics, and function, but preparing, running, and analyzing simulations remains time-consuming and error-prone. We present an automated pipeline that combines large language model (LLM) agents with Python scripting and HTMD MCP too...

Learning Topological Representations of Protein Structure and Dynamics

Modern protein representation models support tasks such as enzyme design and drug discovery, but their reliance on static data such as sequence and native structure limits their ability to capture the conformational dynamics that drive protein function. We investigate whether persistent homology (PH) can provide descri...

Learning Latent Protein Languages for Autoregressive Generation

Autoregressive transformers remain comparatively weak for protein sequence and structure generation. We study the role of target representation: amino acid tokens encode residue identities without explicit contextual semantics, while backbone coordinates require a discrete representation in our framework. We introduce...

RNADyn: A Benchmark for Generating and Understanding RNA Dynamics

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) functions through conformational changes that are not fully captured by static structures. However, large-scale standardized RNA dynamics data remain limited, and existing approaches typically treat trajectory generation and dynamics understanding as separate objectives. Here, we introduce RNADyn...
