Speak to a Protein: An Interactive Multimodal Co-Scientist for Protein Analysis

Abstract Building a working mental model of a protein typically requires weeks of reading, cross-referencing crystal and predicted structures, and inspecting ligand complexes, an effort that is slow, unevenly accessible, and often requires specialized computational skills. We introduce Speak to a Protein, a new capabil...

ProtScape: A molecular structure and energy-aware representation for protein conformation generation

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are a principled but computationally expensive approach for studying protein conformational variability, making it challenging to generate large ensembles of structures or characterize transitions between metastable conformations. AI methods for upsampling MD simulations have been de...

RNA Design via Conditioned Flow Matching and Finite-Policy Reinforcement Learning

RNA design aims to identify sequences that fold into specified secondary structures. Existing methods formulate the task as target-specific search or conditional generation. However, natural RNA evolution proceeds through sequence variation and selection, with compensatory substitutions, whereas these methods do not ex...

LEMON-ZEST: Evolution-Informed Tokenization for Efficient Protein Language Modeling

Protein Language Models (PLMs) have made remarkable progress following scaling laws established in natural language processing across sequence- and structure-based tasks, yet the potential of tokenization remains underexploited. Unlike human language, proteins preserve structure despite extensive sequence variation a p...

Benchmarking graph-based models for in-silico toxicity prediction in drug discovery

Drug discovery is a costly and high-risk process, where toxicity-related failures remain a major cause of attrition in both preclinical and clinical stages. As a result, accurate early prediction of chemical toxicity is essential to reduce downstream costs and improve compound prioritization. In this context, graph dee...

Where Should Physics Enter a Molecular Crystal Generator?

CrystAF is introduced, an all-atom crystal flow-map generation model, and CrystAF with the UMA interatomic potential is used to systematically study where physics should enter, suggesting a simple principle: learn reusable physical alignment into the generator, and reserve inference-time physics for residual constraint...

Explainability from Training with Applications to TCR-Epitope Prediction

Deep learning models have achieved strong performance in artificial intelligence for science, yet their black-box nature limits our understanding of how they learn scientific tasks. Existing methods for interpretability provide limited insight into how models organize evidence and evolve during learning. We introduce e...

AssayRouter: Historical Utility Priors for Frozen Molecular Predictor Routing

Laboratories often face a new molecular assay with 16-64 labels and a bank of predictors whose training data and parameters are unavailable. The practical question is which frozen outputs to include in a small local model. AssayRouter treats completed assays as pseudo-targets and labels each candidate by its post-fit u...

Hessian Matching for Machine-Learned Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics

This work introduces a framework that augments force matching with stochastic Hessian-vector product (HVP) matching, instilling second-order curvature information into CG potentials without constructing the full Hessian.

Continuous Variational Synthesis

Biological machine learning was long bottlenecked by the ability to synthesize designed DNA. Variational synthesis models control chemical reactions to physically manufacture quadrillions of designed sequences in DNA. However, training these generative models is challenging: constraints on chemical synthesis can force...

Correcting the Dropout-LayerNorm Expectation Gap Improves Protein Structure Models

Although $\mathbb{E}[\mathrm{dropout}(x)] = x$, here we show that $\mathbb{E}[\mathrm{LayerNorm}(\mathrm{dropout}(x))]$ is not equal to $\mathrm{LayerNorm}(x)$. Accordingly, the pattern of a Dropout layer followed by a LayerNorm, which is common to many AlphaFold2-based protein structure predictors, produces a systemat...

M3OS: A Monte Carlo Graph Search-Orchestrated Multi-Agent LLM System for Evidence-Traced Molecular Optimization

M3OS is presented, a multi-agent LLM system that decouples molecular-design reasoning from optimization-state management through Monte Carlo graph search, and achieves higher success rates than baselines, supporting the integration of persistent search state, specialized agents and controlled execution for multi-constr...
