What problem does it solve?
BoltzGen removes the manual complexity of generating side-chain-aware protein binders by providing an all-atom diffusion workflow that produces geometry-precise designs from YAML specifications, enabling researchers to design binders against proteins, peptides, and small molecules with GPU-accelerated performance.
Core Features & Use Cases
- All-atom diffusion: Generates designs with explicit side-chains for precise interface geometry.
- YAML-driven campaigns: Entity-based YAML configuration for targets, restraints, and pipelines.
- Multi-protocol support: Protocols for protein, peptide, nanobody, antibody, and protein–small molecule design.
- Execution modes: Run via Modal for cloud GPU orchestration or local installation for on-prem GPUs.
- Practical outputs & QC: Produces design.cif, sequence.fasta, and metrics.json for downstream validation and quality control.
- Use case: Create 50 candidate binder designs for a receptor target and validate top candidates with downstream structure QC and scoring pipelines.
Quick Start
Design 50 side-chain-aware binders for target.cif using binder_config.yaml with the protein-anything protocol.
