Researchers have developed FoldScape, a deep learning framework capable of predicting protein conformational ensembles across various folding stages, from unfolded states to native structures. Unlike previous methods that focused solely on final conformations, FoldScape generates these ensembles by conditioning on folding progress. The framework demonstrates significant advantages over existing tools like AlphaFold 3 in terms of conformational-space coverage, particularly in metrics such as radius of gyration and fraction of native contacts.
