ProtDBench: A Unified Benchmark of Protein Binder Design and Evaluation

ICML 2026poster

Recent advances in $\textit{de novo}$ protein binder design have enabled increasing experimental validation, yet reported $\textit{in silico}$ metrics remain difficult to interpret or compare across studies due to non-standardized evaluation protocols. We introduce $\textbf{ProtDBench}$, a standardi…

Antibody Design Using a Score-based Diffusion Model Guided by Evolutionary, Physical and Geometric Constraints

ICML 2024poster

Antibodies are central proteins in adaptive immune responses, responsible for protecting against viruses and other pathogens. Rational antibody design has proven effective in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases like cancers and virus infections. While recent diffusion-based generative mo…

CarbonNovo: Joint Design of Protein Structure and Sequence Using a Unified Energy-based Model

ICML 2024poster

De novo protein design aims to create novel protein structures and sequences unseen in nature. Recent structure-oriented design methods typically employ a two-stage strategy, where structure design and sequence design modules are trained separately, and the backbone structures and sequences are gene…

Predicting mutational effects on protein-protein binding via a side-chain diffusion probabilistic model

NeurIPS 2023poster

Many crucial biological processes rely on networks of protein-protein interactions. Predicting the effect of amino acid mutations on protein-protein binding is important in protein engineering, including therapeutic discovery. However, the scarcity of annotated experimental data on binding energy po…
