ProteinConformers: large-scale and energetically profiled descriptions of protein conformational landscapes

Abstract

Modeling protein conformational landscapes is essential for understanding dynamics, allostery, and drug discovery, yet existing resources lack diverse conformational coverage, energetic annotations, or benchmarking standards. ProteinConformers (https://zhanggroup.org/ProteinConformers) provides 2.7 million geometry-optimized conformations generated with a multi-seed molecular dynamics strategy, paired with 13.7 million energy evaluations and 5.5 million similarity annotations. It delivers continuous landscapes from non-native to near-native states, benchmarking framework for multi-conformation generators, and an interactive analysis platform.
