SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

BoltzGen enables all-atom protein design using diffusion models, empowering simultaneous backbone and side-chain optimization for precise binding predictions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • All-atom design with diffusion for accurate backbone and side-chain packing.
  • YAML-based configuration for reproducible campaigns, including binding to proteins, peptides, or small molecules.
  • End-to-end workflows: design, inverse folding, structure prediction, and ranking, executable via Modal or local installations.

Quick Start

Run a basic BoltzGen design with a YAML binder config: modal run modal_boltzgen.py --input-yaml binder.yaml --protocol protein-anything --num-designs 50

FAQPage Schema
How do I design all-atom protein binders using diffusion models?

All-atom protein binder design uses diffusion models to jointly optimize the protein backbone and side chains. BoltzGen automates this process, allowing you to configure and run end-to-end design campaigns via a YAML file.

Can I use a YAML configuration to design peptides and small-molecule targets?

Yes, you can use a YAML configuration to design peptides and small-molecule targets. This approach enables reproducible end-to-end campaigns for precise binding predictions across different molecular targets.

How do I run an end-to-end protein design workflow with inverse folding and ranking?

You can run an end-to-end protein design workflow by executing the design script with a YAML input and specific protocol. This automates the inverse folding, structure prediction, and ranking steps to output CIF structures and metrics.

Do I need the Modal ecosystem to run all-atom protein design campaigns?

The Modal ecosystem is required to run the Python-based tooling for all-atom protein design campaigns. It facilitates executing the design, inverse folding, structure prediction, and ranking processes seamlessly.

What is the best way to optimize protein backbone and side-chain packing simultaneously?

Simultaneous optimization of protein backbone and side-chain packing is achieved through all-atom design with diffusion. This method provides accurate structural predictions for precise binding interactions.

What outputs do I get from a BoltzGen protein design campaign?

A BoltzGen protein design campaign produces CIF structures and design metrics. These outputs result from the automated workflow encompassing design, inverse folding, structure prediction, and ranking.
