Our heavily updated final version of ROCKET for experiment-guided structure modeling is out in @naturemethods!
New frontiers like high-throughput fragment screening and mid-res tomography are forcing a rethink of how experiments are modeled. ROCKET+OpenFold proposes a solution👇
Our latest blog takes a behind‑the‑scenes look at the experimental and structural biology work behind #OpenBind’s first data release - from protein production to crystallographic model building and refinement.

The latest blog from #OpenBind introduces a new structure–affinity dataset for the EV‑A71 2A protease, alongside reference benchmarks and guidance on how the community can use and evaluate it across docking, co‑folding, and affinity prediction. https://loom.ly/6xPIRUc

Tremendously excited to help launch the Open Source for Science Fund, led by a fantastic team with an extraordinary track record of supporting open source software for science.
The CASP experiment is about to start - and is still short on challenging prediction targets. Ligand complexes, RNA, …
Very happy to have had a chance to attack an initially very low-resolution #cryo-EM map with #ROCKET! Thank you again @alisiafadini.bsky.social and all other co-authors of this important work, which truly shows the power of combining experimental structural biology and #AI inference.

Equivariance is dead! 😢
Or is it? 😈
Genie 3 is out! Our latest protein design model achieves SoTA results for binder design and motif scaffolding, greatly improving on BindCraft and Proteina-Complexa.
It does so using all-atom SE(3)-equivariance based on a branched polymer representation👇

Does AlphaFold’s latent space encode only the native state or something like a distribution over conformations? We begin to answer this question with ConforNets, a mechanism for producing diverse states, or very specific ones, via inference-time adaption of OF3p’s latent space👇
It's finally out!

Today we're launching the Open Source for Science Fund, a new multi-donor philanthropic fund by Renaissance Philanthropy, seeded by @biohub.org and @wellcometrust.bsky.social, with support from @kavlifoundation.org and @researchsoftware.bsky.social
🧵 os4science.org/news/open-so...
We introduce ConforNets, a mechanism for conformational control in AlphaFold3 models
- SoTA at producing diverse conformations on every multistate benchmark (N=104)
- Novel capability: transfer state from one protein to another
Outperforms BioEmu, ConforMix and AFsample3

ROCKET 🚀 inference-time optimization of AlphaFold to fit structural data is published! rdcu.be/fa9YH
Since our preprint, we’ve pushed it to regimes where other methods break: low resolution, weak signal, real experimental edge cases. Here’s what we learned: 1/15

Is #AI hitting a plateau in structure prediction? Help us find out at CASP17! 🧪🧬
Calling for Targets: Immune Complexes, protein - ligand complexes, RNA/DNA, conformational ensembles, membrane proteins, viral origins, and large complexes.
The Rule of Thumb: If AF3 can’t model it, we want it.
