Frederic Cazals Frederic.Cazals@inria.frCentre Inria d’Université Côte d’Azur, Algorithms-Biology-Structure Abstract The function of proteins relies on a subtle mix between structural and dynamical properties (thermodynamics, kinetics). Deep learning based methods, pioneered by AlphaFold, for which the 2024 Nobel prize in chemistry was co-awarded, have revolutionized protein structure prediction and enabled the…

We are happy to announce that the second NCSB will be held on June 19th, 2025 at Nancy , with the support of the Centre Inria de l’Universite de Lorraine, LORIA and GDR BIMMM. We have the pleasure of hosting internationally distinguished experts in computational and structural biology. Here is…
Omid Mokhtari Inria, Loria, CNRS, Universite de Lorraine, Nancy Proteins are dynamic entities, and their conformational flexibility, particularly in intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), plays a crucial role in their function. While significant progress has been made in predicting protein-protein interfaces, existing methods often overlook conformational heterogeneity. We employ state-of-the-art geometric…
Martin Pacesa LPDI, EPFL, Switzerland Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are at the core of all key biological processes. However, the complexity of the structural features that determine PPIs makes their design challenging. We present BindCraft, an open-source and automated pipeline for de novo protein binder design with experimental success rates of…
