Venus-MAXWELL: Efficient Learning of Protein-Mutation Stability Landscapes using Protein Language Models

NeurIPS 2025poster

In-silico prediction of protein mutant stability, measured by the difference in Gibbs free energy change ($\Delta \Delta G$), is fundamental for protein engineering. Current sequence-to-label methods typically employ two-stage pipelines: (i) encoding mutant sequences using neural networks (e.g., tra…
