Exploring the Alignment of Generation and Understanding in Protein Structure Modeling
Junde Xu, Yuansheng Huang, Zijun Gao +5
Understanding and generation are often treated as two separate paradigms in training deep neural networks, despite the fact that both are trained with closely related objectives su…
SF-Cluster: Frustration-Guided MSA Subsampling for Alternative Protein Conformation Recovery
Hanqun Cao, Zijun Gao, Chunbin Gu +3
Deep-learning structure predictors are sensitive to their multiple sequence alignment (MSA) input, making MSA subsampling a practical route to recovering alternative conformations.…
GeoCycler: Reward-Aligned 3D Diffusion for Constraint-Conditioned Cyclic Peptide Design
Jingjie Zhang, Hanqun Cao, Haosen Shi +10
Cyclic peptides are attractive therapeutic modalities because their closed-ring topology can improve stability and target specificity. However, de novo cyclic peptide design remain…
CA-DEL: An Open Multi-Target, Multi-Modal Benchmark for Learning from DNA-Encoded Library Screens
Mutian He, Hanqun Cao, Cheng Tan +4
The success of machine learning in drug discovery hinges on learning the relationship between a chemical structure and its biological activity. While DNA-Encoded Library (DEL) tech…
CONFIDE: Hallucination Assessment for Reliable Biomolecular Structure Prediction and Design
Zijun Gao, Mutian He, Shijia Sun +8
Reliable evaluation of protein structure predictions remains challenging, as metrics like pLDDT capture energetic stability but often miss subtle errors such as atomic clashes or c…
Learning the PTM Code through a Coarse-to-Fine, Mechanism-Aware Framework
Jingjie Zhang, Hanqun Cao, Zijun Gao +8
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) form a combinatorial "code" that regulates protein function, yet deciphering this code - linking modified sites to their catalytic enzymes -…
A deep reinforcement learning platform for antibiotic discovery
Hanqun Cao, Marcelo D. T. Torres, Jingjie Zhang +8
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is projected to cause up to 10 million deaths annually by 2050, underscoring the urgent need for new antibiotics. Here we present ApexAmphion, a deep…
Lightweight MSA Design Advances Protein Folding From Evolutionary Embeddings
Hanqun Cao, Xinyi Zhou, Zijun Gao +7
Protein structure prediction often hinges on multiple sequence alignments (MSAs), which underperform on low-homology and orphan proteins. We introduce PLAME, a lightweight MSA desi…
Protein Inverse Folding From Structure Feedback
Junde Xu, Zijun Gao, Xinyi Zhou +6
The inverse folding problem, aiming to design amino acid sequences that fold into desired three-dimensional structures, is pivotal for various biotechnological applications. Here,…
SAGEPhos: Sage Bio-Coupled and Augmented Fusion for Phosphorylation Site Detection
Jingjie Zhang, Hanqun Cao, Zijun Gao +2
Phosphorylation site prediction based on kinase-substrate interaction plays a vital role in understanding cellular signaling pathways and disease mechanisms. Computational methods…
Gradient-based Parameter Selection for Efficient Fine-Tuning
Zhi Zhang, Qizhe Zhang, Zijun Gao +4
With the growing size of pre-trained models, full fine-tuning and storing all the parameters for various downstream tasks is costly and infeasible. In this paper, we propose a new…
