New benchmark evaluates protein motif scaffolding models for dynamic stability

Researchers have introduced BILBY-PRO, a new benchmark for evaluating protein motif scaffolding models, which systematically derives functional motifs from PROSITE-linked experimental structures. This benchmark comprises 220 cases from 174 PROSITE motif-pattern entries and aims to address limitations in existing benchmarks that use small, hand-curated motif sets and static refolding criteria. The study also presents BILBY-MD, a molecular dynamics framework for assessing dynamical fidelity, revealing that static success does not always equate to dynamic stability in protein design. AI

IMPACT Enhances evaluation rigor for generative models in protein design, potentially leading to more accurate and dynamically stable protein structures.

    Static Recovery Is Not Dynamic Stability: Dynamics-Aware Benchmarking of Protein Motif Scaffolding

    arXiv:2611.07723v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Protein motif scaffolding benchmarks assess whether generative models can build scaffolds around functionally important residues. Their conclusions depend on which motifs are tested and which criteria define success. Existing benchm…
