Protein structure prediction has been greatly improved by deep learning in the past few years. However, most successful methods rely on multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of homologs protein under prediction. In nature, a folds absence its and thus, MSA-free method is desired. Here, we develop single-sequence-based RaptorX-Single integrating several language models generation module then study advantage over MSA-based methods. Our experimental results indicate that addition to running much...

Geometric graph is a special kind of with geometric features, which vital to model many scientific problems. Unlike generic graphs, graphs often exhibit physical symmetries translations, rotations, and reflections, making them ineffectively processed by current Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). To tackle this issue, researchers proposed variety equipped invariant/equivariant properties better characterize the geometry topology graphs. Given progress in field, it imperative conduct comprehensive...

Abstract Accurate prediction of antibody structures is critical in analyzing the function antibodies, thus enabling rational design antibodies. However, existing structure methods often only formulate backbone atoms and rely on additional tools for side-chain conformation prediction. In this work, we propose a fully end-to-end architecture simultaneous conformations, namely tFold-Ab. Pre-trained language models are adopted fast by avoiding time-consuming search sequence homologs. The model...

Single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) have emerged as powerful therapeutic agents due to their small size, high stability, and superior tissue penetration. However, unlike conventional monoclonal (mAbs), sdAbs lack an Fc domain, limiting functional versatility manufacturability.

Protein structure prediction has been greatly improved by deep learning, but the contribution of different information is yet to be fully understood. This article studies impacts two kinds for prediction: template and multiple sequence alignment (MSA) embedding. Templates have used some methods before, such as AlphaFold2, RoseTTAFold RaptorX. AlphaFold2 RosetTTAFold only templates detected HHsearch, which may not perform very well on targets. In addition, embedding generated pre-trained...
