Robust deep learning–based protein sequence design using ProteinMPNN
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Although deep learning has revolutionized protein structure prediction, almost all experimentally characterized de novo protein designs have been generated using physically based approaches such as Rosetta. Here, we describe a deep learning–based protein sequence design method, ProteinMPNN, that has outstanding performance in both in silico and experimental tests. On native protein backbones, ProteinMPNN has a sequence recovery of 52.4% compared with 32.9% for Rosetta. The amino acid sequence at different positions can be coupled between single or multiple chains, enabling application to a wide range of current protein design challenges. We demonstrate the broad utility and high accuracy of ProteinMPNN using x-ray crystallography, cryo–electron microscopy, and functional studies by rescuing previously failed designs, which were made using Rosetta or AlphaFold, of protein monomers, cyclic homo-oligomers, tetrahedral nanoparticles, and target-binding proteins.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
ProteinMPNN is a deep learning–based protein sequence design method that uses a message-passing neural network with order-agnostic decoding and symmetry-aware coupling to design sequences for monomers, oligomers, nanoparticles, and interfaces. It achieves higher native sequence recovery than Rosetta and rescues previously failed experimental designs across multiple protein design challenges.
Key findings
- On native protein backbones, ProteinMPNN achieved 52.4% sequence recovery versus 32.9% for Rosetta, while requiring only 1.2 seconds versus 4.3 minutes for a 100-residue protein.
- Median sequence recovery was 52% for monomers, 55% for homomers, and 51% for heteromers; recovery ranged from 90–95% in the deep core to 35% on the surface.
- Training with backbone noise improved robustness: a model trained with 0.3 Å noise generated 2–3 times more sequences with AlphaFold predictions within lDDT-Ca of 95.0 and 90.0 of the true structures than unnoised or slightly noised models.
- Experimental rescue of AlphaFold-generated designs: of 96 designs produced in E. coli, 73 were soluble (median soluble yield 247 mg/L vs. 9 mg/L for AF sequences) and 50 had the target monomeric or oligomeric state; for C5/C6 cyclic oligomers, ProteinMPNN designs were 88% soluble with 27.7% correct oligomeric state versus 40% soluble and none correct for Rosetta designs.
Methods
- ProteinMPNN is based on a message-passing neural network with 3 encoder and 3 decoder layers and 128 hidden dimensions, using backbone features including Ca-Ca distances, relative frame orientations, dihedral angles, and added N, Ca, C, O, and virtual Cb distances; edge updates and order-agnostic autoregressive decoding were introduced.
- Training used protein assemblies from the PDB (as of Aug 02, 2021) determined by X-ray crystallography or cryoEM to better than 3.5 Å resolution and with fewer than 10,000 residues, clustered at 30% sequence identity with mmseqs2, yielding 25,361 clusters; monomer training/validation used 19.7k high-resolution single-chain structures split by CATH.
- Evaluation included in silico test sets of 402 monomer backbones for Rosetta comparison and 690 monomers, 732 homomers (<2000 residues), and 98 heteromers, plus experimental characterization by E. coli expression, SEC, SEC-MALS, X-ray crystallography, cryoEM, and biolayer interferometry.
Limitations
- The paper states that in silico metrics such as native sequence recovery are sensitive to crystallographic resolution and may not correlate with proper folding; even a single residue substitution can block folding.
- The paper notes that deep learning methods lack the physical transparency of methods like Rosetta.
- The text does not include a dedicated limitations section; evident from the text, experimental validation covers selected design challenges and backbones, and not all designed sequences were structurally characterized.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
