Dr. Mehdi D. Davari Department of Bioorganic Chemistry, Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry, Weinberg 3,06120 Halle, Germany, Email: mehdi.davari@ipb-halle.de Abstract. The ability to tailor protein function underpins progress in biotechnology, medicine, and sustainable biocatalytic processes. Yet the immense size of protein sequence space, combined with experimental limitations in screening capacity,…

A. Sofia F. OliveiraUniversity of Bristol, Bristol, BS81TS, UKEmail: sofia.oliveira@bristol.ac.uk Abstract. Proteins are neither static entities nor work in isolation under physiological conditions. In fact, it is the opposite; their function is closely linked to their ability to adopt and transition between multiple conformational states, with even subtle environmental changes…
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…

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…
