Today we're launching Latent-Y: the world's first autonomous agent for drug design, lab-validated end to end. Give it a research goal. Latent-Y reasons, designs, iterates, and delivers lab-ready antibodies, autonomously or collaboratively, with the biological reasoning of a PhD protein design expert. Technical report: tinyurl.com/latent-y-techrep… Blog post: latentlabs.com/latent-y Apply for access: platform.latentlabs.com

📢 We’re launching Proteina-Complexa — and after the Jensen keynote mention, we definitely had to post this thread now ;) Atomistic binder design with generative pretraining + test-time compute, plus large-scale wet-lab validation. Project page: research.nvidia.com/labs/gen… 🧵 1/n

Today, we report a method for design of active enzymes, RFdiffusion2, in @naturemethods. For the first time, we are able to design enzymes with native-range catalytic activity. We also are releasing our next frontier model, RFdiffusion3, code 👇

Come do a PhD with me 😀! Promise of fun science and great coffee ☕
I like the way @joeybos lays out his vision for PhD supervision! Seems intense and rewarding.

🚨New package alert! 🧬 Introducing Pocketeer: A lightweight, fast protein pocket finder in pure Python! I built this as a Pythonic version of fpocket because I wanted something that could easily calculate subpockets. > pip install pocketeer Link at end of the thread 🧵(1/7)

We sought to make proteins both potent and FAST. We used #proteindesign to design precise control over protein interaction lifetimes, enabling us to construct rapid-response circuits, biosensors, and switchable cytokines. Now published @Nature! Links to paper and tutorial below.

We asked ourselves what could we do if we worked cooperatively as a team to create a single model that could design any biomolecular interactions. Yesterday, we reported details of RFdiffusion3, the next step towards building functional proteins straight from the computer.

La-Proteina open source now, excited to see what people build with it!
🧬La-Proteina🧬 The first generative model demonstrating accurate co-design of fully atomistic protein structures (sequence + side-chains + backbone) at scale, up to 800 residues, with state-of-the-art atomistic motif scaffolding performance - has just made its code open-source! Learn more 🧵

Where are all the de novo designed therapeutics? In a guest post by @frdreyer, we break down what the actual bottlenecks, challenges, and opportunities are in building and deploying purely in silico drug discovery engines, with a focus on antibody structure. Link below 👇

Today, we're releasing a software suite to train biomolecular neural networks called AtomWorks. We have already used it to train performant networks in our group -- we hope that others find it as useful as we do! Check it out at github.com/RosettaCommons/at…
AtomWorks is out! Building upon @biotite_python, we built for a toolkit for all things biomolecules and trained RF3 with it. All open-source, test it via `pip install atomworks`! AtomWorks: github.com/RosettaCommons/at… RF3: github.com/RosettaCommons/mo… Paper: tinyurl.com/y2w4z65b 1/6

Atomsworks and RF3 is finally here!! I was very fortunate to get early access to atomworks and it really lowers the activation energy todo some really cool stuff with the PDB very quickly. Might share fun examples later Huge congrats to @SimMat20 and team!!! ✨

RNA-FrameFlow has found a new home in TMLR @TmlrPub 🥳 Over the past one year, we've spent quite some time making our method faster, developing more intricate evaluation pipelines, thinking about conditional design, and assessing/ablating our modeling choices Here are some updates 👇🏻🧵
🧬🤖 Introducing RNA-FrameFlow –– an unconditional generative model for 3D RNA backbone design! 📑: arxiv.org/abs/2406.13839 🧰: github.com/rish-16/rna-backb… Our method generates ≥ 40% self-consistent *all-atom* RNA backbones that are globally and locally realistic 💪🏻 1/9

Check out La-Proteina, our new model for all-atom structure generation at scale! Was a very fun project to work on with @tomasgeffner and the rest of the team. Two things I am particularly excited about in 🧵 1/n
Presenting La-Proteina! A new model for scalable, all-atom protein design 🧬 Backbone + sequence + side-chains, indexed and unindexed atomistic motif scaffolding, scalable up to 800 residues, and more… A thread 🧵
