Recent advances in protein structure prediction, exemplified by AlphaFold, have largely addressed the determination of static structures, one aspect of the protein folding problem. However, predicting folding pathways, by which proteins reach their native states, remains a significant challenge. Here, we present PathFo...
Prot-LAMBDA is introduced, a PLM that explicitly incorporates spatial relationships by coupling residue embeddings with inter-residue contacts and LambdaFold, a lightweight distance-guided structure prediction framework that achieves performance comparable to ESMFold on proteins strictly non-redundant to the training d...
