EquiPocket is an E(3)-equivariant Graph Neural Network designed to predict ligand binding sites on proteins. It processes proteins as geometric graphs, extracting local surface atom geometry, modeling chemical and spatial relationships, and performing equivariant message passing to capture surface geometry. A dense attention output layer mitigates issues caused by variable protein sizes, and experiments show the method outperforms current state‑of‑the‑art approaches.

The paper introduces a scalable method to interpret sparse autoencoder (SAE) features in the ESM-2 protein language model by leveraging geometrically inspired features of the protein α‑carbon backbone. Across 8M layers of ESM-2, a false discovery rate–controlled analysis shows that local geometry is significantly associated with many SAE features, revealing substructure within known biological labels and enabling annotation of unannotated metagenomic proteins. Ablation experiments demonstrate that removing these geometric features shifts ESM-2’s predicted contact maps toward the descriptor, linking mechanistic interpretability with structural biology.
