This research establishes the theoretical upper bound for protein structure modeling by demonstrating that standard geometric graph networks miss critical content-geometry interactions. The proposed Hyper-Fold architecture achieves state-of-the-art performance in enzyme prediction and ligand binding with significantly fewer parameters and lower latency, proving that a sufficiently expressive 3D backbone can recover information previously dependent on large sequence language models.
Hyper-Fold: Exploring the Expressive Limit of Sequence-Geometry Learning for Proteins via Hypergraph Modeling
arXiv:2608.29207v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Protein structure modeling rests on a single computational primitive: the interaction between what a residue is (sequence content) and where it sits (three-dimensional geometry). What is the expressive limit of this layer class? We show that the complete bilinear operator over content-geometry outer products--the sufficient statistic of all second-order interactions--is the expressive ceiling, while the additive message passing of mainstream geometric GNNs is provably blind to content-geometry binding. We then introduce Hyper-Fold, a rank-K separable convolutional backbone approaching this ceiling at message-passing cost: each radius neighborhood is organized into a sequence hyperedge and a contact hyperedge, modulated by an edge-conditioned matrix-valued operator factorized into K learned basis operators with geometry-generated coefficients. Across enzyme function prediction, fold classification, and ligand binding site detection, Hyper-Fold and its hierarchical variant Hyper-Fold-Deep achieve the best results among protein-specific structure encoders; Hyper-Fold-Pocket, an anchored set-prediction head, surpasses UniSite-3D on UniSite-DS and two zero-shot benchmarks with no sequence language model features, 68x fewer parameters, and 4.8x lower latency--suggesting that a sufficiently expressive 3D backbone recovers information that fusion architectures previously borrowed from evolution-scale pretraining.
