Near-real-time protein structures change science: It means: → Next-gen protein AI data waves → Interactive protein design loops (DMTA in hours) → Proteome-scale insights with fewer resources It means the bottleneck doesn't have to be compute. It's close (preprint below).
Does anyone here care about biomolecular AI? Who should I follow?
🧬 Introducing La‑Proteina: a partially‑latent flow‑matching model that co‑generates sequence + all‑atom structure for proteins up to 800 aa 🧬 Side‑chains live in latents, backbone explicit → 75 % codesign & SOTA motif scaffolds 🔥

Boltz-2 just dropped: open-source AI that predicts both protein complex folds ✚ binding affinities in one shot 🚀 This is a win for protein AI, but let's not forget MSAs, the bioinformatics backbone many structure models lean on.
MMseqs2-GPU is available as a downloadable NVIDIA NIM microservice (MSA-Search)!

"Are there at least 3 simulations per simulation condition with statistical analysis?" From @commsbio.bsky.social's "Reliability and reproducibility checklist for molecular dynamics simulations" (doi.org/10.1038/s420...) IMO the number 3 is meaningless and could equally well be 1 or 1000

DiffDock was the first time a traditional drug discovery simulation task was represented as a generative AI task AFAIK. Recent DiffDock versions + other DL models are advancing rapidly + solving real problems for researchers. Let's have a balanced conversation about it. arxiv.org/abs/2412.02889
Deep-Learning Based Docking Methods: Fair Comparisons to Conventional Docking Workflows
The diffusion learning method, DiffDock, for docking small-molecule ligands into protein binding sites was recently introduced. Results included comparisons to more conventional docking approaches, wi...

#CASP16 results are in! Template-based VFold seems to be lead method for nucleic acid structure prediction! AlphaFold2 and 3 still seem to be best methods for protein monomer and complex prediction.
