Hyper-Fold: Exploring the Expressive Limit of Sequence-Geometry Learning for Proteins via Hypergraph Modeling

Hyper-Fold is introduced, a rank-K separable convolutional backbone approaching this ceiling at message-passing cost, suggesting that a sufficiently expressive 3D backbone recovers information that fusion architectures previously borrowed from evolution-scale pretraining.

Hyper-Fold: Exploring the Expressive Limit of Sequence-Geometry Learning for Proteins via Hypergraph Modeling

Protein structure modeling rests on a single computational primitive: the interaction between what a residue is (sequence content) and where it sits (three-dimensional geometry). What is the expressive limit of this layer class? We show that the complete bilinear operator over content-geometry outer products--the sufficient statistic of all second-order interactions--is the expressive ceiling, while the additive message passing of mainstream geometric GNNs is provably blind to content-geometry binding. We then introduce Hyper-Fold, a rank-K separable convolutional backbone approaching this ceiling at message-passing cost: each radius neighborhood is organized into a sequence hyperedge and a contact hyperedge, modulated by an edge-conditioned matrix-valued operator factorized into K learned basis operators with geometry-generated coefficients. Across enzyme function prediction, fold classification, and ligand binding site detection, Hyper-Fold and its hierarchical variant Hyper-Fold-Deep achieve the best results among protein-specific structure encoders; Hyper-Fold-Pocket, an anchored set-prediction head, surpasses UniSite-3D on UniSite-DS and two zero-shot benchmarks with no sequence language model features, 68x fewer parameters, and 4.8x lower latency--suggesting that a sufficiently expressive 3D backbone recovers information that fusion architectures previously borrowed from evolution-scale pretraining.

How Powerful are Hypergraph Neural Networks?

The Hypergraph Identity-Aware Subtree (IA Subtree) Kernel is introduced, which distinguishes uniform-regular hypergraphs by considering both neighborhood connectivity and connection density and develops two Hypergraph Neural Networks: Hypergraph Isomorphism Networks (HGIN) and Identity-Aware Hypergraph Isomorphism Networks (IA-HGIN).
