Abstract

Protein design and engineering are evolving at an unprecedented pace leveraging the advances of deep learning. Current models nonetheless cannot natively consider non-protein entities within the design process. Here we introduce a deep learning approach based solely on a geometric transformer of atomic coordinates that predicts protein sequences from backbone scaffolds aware of the restraints imposed by diverse molecular environments. This new concept is anticipated to improve the design versatility for engineering proteins with desired functions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
