This paper compares chemical descriptors and deep learning embeddings for scoring de novo peptide designs, finding classical descriptors are effective and efficient for developability prediction.

This study shows that a negative charge at the Lhcb2 N-terminus impairs phosphorylation and PSI-LHCII complex formation in Arabidopsis, while a downstream charge has no effect.

The paper introduces CoV-UniBind, a unified database of SARS-CoV-2 antibody-antigen interactions, and benchmarks models for antibody design and vaccine development.

The paper benchmarks nine protein folding models on 20 monomeric proteins, showing Chai-1 excels in recovering conformations and capturing dynamics for Adenylate Kinase.
