Predicting the intermediate trajectories between an initial and target distribution is a central problem in generative modeling. Existing approaches, such as flow matching and Schrödinger Bridge Matching, effectively learn mappings between two distributions by modeling a single stochastic path. Howe…
Protein function is often controlled by ligands that bias the direction of state transitions, such as agonists and antagonists, rather than stabilizing a single conformation. This is especially important for clinically relevant G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), where therapeutic efficacy depends …
We present **PepTune**, a multi-objective discrete diffusion model for simultaneous generation and optimization of therapeutic peptide SMILES. Built on the Masked Discrete Language Model (MDLM) framework, PepTune ensures valid peptide structures with a novel bond-dependent masking schedule and inval…
