protein-binder-design
From the author
Design new proteins that bind a chosen surface, using BindCraft's AlphaFold2-guided hallucination or the RFdiffusion backbone plus ProteinMPNN sequence pipeline. Use this skill to specify a target epitope by hotspot residue, trim a receptor to the region worth designing against, set up a design campaign, and filter the output on the in-silico metrics that predict experimental success — interface predicted TM-score, predicted aligned error at the interface, buried surface area, and shape complementarity. Also trigger on BindCraft, RFdiffusion, ProteinMPNN, minibinder, hallucination, inverse folding, hotspot residue, epitope targeting, ipTM, or de novo binder.

- bindcraftadaptyvbio/protein-design-skillsEnd-to-end binder design using BindCraft hallucination. Use this skill when: (1) Designing protein binders with built-in AF2 validation, (2) Running production-quality binder campaigns, (3) Using different design protocols (fast, default, slow), (4) Need joint backbone and sequence optimization, (5) Want high experimental success rate. For backbone-only generation, use rfdiffusion. For QC thresholds, use protein-qc. For tool selection guidance, use binder-design.Design★ 173
- binder-designadaptyvbio/protein-design-skillsGuidance for choosing the right protein binder design tool. Use this skill when: (1) Deciding between BoltzGen, BindCraft, or RFdiffusion, (2) Planning a binder design campaign, (3) Understanding trade-offs between different approaches, (4) Selecting tools for specific target types. For specific tool parameters, use the individual tool skills (boltzgen, bindcraft, rfdiffusion, etc.).Design★ 173
- proteinmpnnaipoch/open-scienceInverse-fold a protein backbone (PDB structure) into amino-acid sequence with ProteinMPNN (Dauparas et al. 2022, github.com/dauparas/ProteinMPNN). Reach for this skill to run sequence design on RFdiffusion backbones, to redesign one chain of a PDB while holding interface residues fixed, or to generate a temperature-swept set of sequences for downstream folding.Design★ 5.4K
- rfdiffusionadaptyvbio/protein-design-skillsGenerate protein backbones using RFdiffusion, a diffusion-based generative model for de novo protein structure generation. Use this skill when: (1) Designing binder scaffolds for a target protein, (2) Generating novel protein backbones from scratch, (3) Scaffolding functional motifs into new proteins, (4) Specifying hotspot residues for interface design, (5) Creating symmetric oligomers. For sequence design after backbone generation, use proteinmpnn. For structure validation, use alphafold or chai. For QC thresholds, use protein-qc.Design★ 173
- mosaicadaptyvbio/protein-design-skillsMulti-objective, gradient-based protein binder design with Mosaic. Use this skill when: (1) Composing several structure or sequence models into one design objective, (2) Optimizing binders against a custom loss rather than a fixed pipeline, (3) Wanting gradient descent over sequence space in the style of ColabDesign, RSO, or BindCraft but with interchangeable predictors, (4) Letting the optimizer choose the epitope instead of fixing hotspots. For an end-to-end binder pipeline with default filters, use bindcraft. For all-atom diffusion design, use boltzgen. For backbone-only generation, use rfdiffusion.Design★ 173
- alterlab-rfdiffusionAlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-SkillsGenerate de-novo protein backbones with RFdiffusion (Watson 2023) — a diffusion model for unconditional monomer generation, motif scaffolding, binder design against a target, and symmetric oligomers. Use when generating a new protein backbone from scratch, scaffolding a functional motif into a fold, designing a binder backbone to a target surface, or building symmetric assemblies; RFdiffusion produces the STRUCTURE, then alterlab-proteinmpnn designs its sequence and alterlab-alphafold validates it. For sequence design of an existing backbone prefer alterlab-proteinmpnn (or alterlab-ligandmpnn with a ligand); to fold a known sequence prefer alterlab-alphafold; for generative multimodal design prefer alterlab-esm.
