Structure Reconstruction

Methods that, given an input in modality X, impute a structure output, e.g. from image domain to PDB structure.

• CryoDRGN
  • CryoEM structure reconstruction

---

Sequence Reconstruction

Methods that, given an input in modality X, impute a sequence output, e.g. from frequency domain to sequence.

• InstaNovo
  • Given proteomics readout, reconstruct peptide sequence

---

Binding prediction

Methods that operate on two molecules and predict an aspect of bidning, e.g. pose

• DiffDock
  • Small molecule binding pose
• DiffDock-PP
  • Protein-protein binding pose
• NeuralPLexer
  • Small molecule binding
• DynamicBind
  • Find binding pockets on protein surfaces
  • ⚠️ no code available @ GitHub repo

---

Binding generation

Methods that generate some entity (e.g. small mol) linking or binding an input entity/entities (e.g. linker generation)

• DiffLinker
  • Linker generation
• DiffSBDD
  • Small molecule generation given pocket
• DiffAB
  • Design antibody given antigen structure
• DiffBP
  • Small molecule generation given pocket

---

Molecule generation

Methods that generate some entity (e.g. small mol) unconditionally or conditionally to target specific molecular properties (e.g. 3D molecule generation)

• EDM
• Diffusion Prior Bridges
• LDM
• GCDM

---

Discontinued
