NeoPep designs functional peptides de novo using a deep-learning framework that models biophysical principles, achieving high hit rates and structural accuracy across diverse targets.

This paper introduces PocketXMol, a generative foundation model for molecular interactions with protein pockets, achieving state-of-the-art performance in 11 tasks and demonstrating success in designing inhibitors and peptides.

PepMimic, an all-atom latent diffusion model guided by a contrastive interface encoder, designs peptides mimicking known binders; 8% of tested peptides across five targets reached 10^-8M KD.
