Apple unveils SimpleDesign for joint protein sequence and structure modeling

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Apple researchers have developed SimpleDesign, a novel model for protein sequence and structure codesign. Unlike previous multi-stage approaches, SimpleDesign uses a single-stage, end-to-end objective that directly models both discrete sequences and continuous structures. The model employs Transformer-based backbones for modality-specific processing and global attention, achieving competitive results on co-design and generation benchmarks after training on over 2 million sequence-structure pairs.

    SimpleDesign: A Joint Model for Protein Sequence and Structure Codesign

    Proteins are fundamental to biological processes, with their function determined by the complex interplay between the amino acid sequence and the three-dimensional structure. Developing generative models capable of understanding this intrinsically multi-modal relationship is cruc…
