What problem does it solve?
This Skill generates protein sequences optimized around bound small molecules, metal ions, cofactors, and designed ligands to enable ligand-aware inverse folding and pocket-specific sequence design without manual sequence curation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Ligand-aware inverse folding: Design sequences conditioned on HETATM ligand definitions in PDB structures.
- Enzyme and binder design: Applicable to enzyme active site redesign, small-molecule binder generation, metal coordination stabilization, and cofactor-binding protein engineering.
- Sampling & integration: Produce multiple sampled sequences per target with temperature and sample-count controls and integrate with downstream structure prediction and quality control workflows.
Quick Start
Run LigandMPNN on your protein-ligand PDB to generate 16 candidate sequences with sampling temperature 0.1.
