StabilityArc: Decoding Protein Sequence Embeddings into Generalizable Stability Landscapes

StabilityArc is presented, which maps frozen ESMC-600M residue representations through a shared RoPE transformer to an Lx20 matrix of substitution effects; a symmetric, contact-aware residual aids in predicting epistasis in simultaneous substitutions.

Improving scoring functions for protein-protein docking with LambdaLoss

Modeling protein-protein interactions requires accurate scoring functions that can rank potential poses (conformations) of a protein-protein complex to differentiate near-native poses from incorrect ones. Here, we propose a general framework for improving protein-protein pose ranking and other biomolecular interaction...

pCoMole: Pareto-Constrained Molecule Editing with Discrete Flows

Biomolecular therapeutics often start from known sequences and require targeted editing to improve multiple properties while satisfying hard biochemical and manufacturability constraints. However, existing generative methods do not jointly support multi-objective optimization, hard feasibility, and sequence editing in...

Auditable Algebraic Counting Field for Cryptic-Pocket Detection from Apo Structures

Cryptic ligand-binding pockets are not apparent in experimentally determined apo structures, making them difficult to identify from unbound receptor geometry. A complementary challenge is to make the structural measurements and learned evidence behind each prediction directly inspectable. We introduce a supervised alge...

Fold'EM: Direct atomic structure inference from Cryo-EM particles

Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has become a widely adopted technique for biomolecular structure determination. The conventional cryo-EM computational pipeline first combines many particle images to reconstruct an electrostatic potential (ESP) map and then fits an atomic model to the recovered map. D...

Speak to a Protein: An Interactive Multimodal Co-Scientist for Protein Analysis

Abstract Building a working mental model of a protein typically requires weeks of reading, cross-referencing crystal and predicted structures, and inspecting ligand complexes, an effort that is slow, unevenly accessible, and often requires specialized computational skills. We introduce Speak to a Protein, a new capabil...

ProtScape: A molecular structure and energy-aware representation for protein conformation generation

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are a principled but computationally expensive approach for studying protein conformational variability, making it challenging to generate large ensembles of structures or characterize transitions between metastable conformations. AI methods for upsampling MD simulations have been de...

RNA Design via Conditioned Flow Matching and Finite-Policy Reinforcement Learning

RNA design aims to identify sequences that fold into specified secondary structures. Existing methods formulate the task as target-specific search or conditional generation. However, natural RNA evolution proceeds through sequence variation and selection, with compensatory substitutions, whereas these methods do not ex...

LEMON-ZEST: Evolution-Informed Tokenization for Efficient Protein Language Modeling

This work introduces ZEST (Zoned Encoding of Sequence Traits), an evolution-informed vocabulary derived from conserved regions of multiple sequence alignments that demonstrates that evolution-informed tokenization can substitute for massive parameter scaling, opening a new direction for efficient, biologically-grounded...

Benchmarking graph-based models for in-silico toxicity prediction in drug discovery

A unified and standardized benchmarking framework for GDL-based toxicity prediction is introduced, systematically evaluating more than 20 representative approaches under consistent experimental conditions and across multiple datasets and partitioning strategies, enabling a fair and reproducible comparison of model perf...

Where Should Physics Enter a Molecular Crystal Generator?

CrystAF is introduced, an all-atom crystal flow-map generation model, and CrystAF with the UMA interatomic potential is used to systematically study where physics should enter, suggesting a simple principle: learn reusable physical alignment into the generator, and reserve inference-time physics for residual constraint...

Explainability from Training with Applications to TCR-Epitope Prediction

Deep learning models have achieved strong performance in artificial intelligence for science, yet their black-box nature limits our understanding of how they learn scientific tasks. Existing methods for interpretability provide limited insight into how models organize evidence and evolve during learning. We introduce e...
