arXiv:2606. 05474v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Protein binder design has largely optimized for affinity alone, leaving conformational selectivity unaddressed: for allosteric targets such as kinases, nuclear receptors, and GPCRs, a binder that engages both active and inactive states provides no functional specificity regardless of how tightly it binds.

arXiv:2606. 14217v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate prediction of protein-ligand binding affinity is essential for structure-based drug discovery.

arXiv:2602. 24007v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Protein function relies on dynamic conformational ensembles, yet current generative models like AlphaFold3 often fail to produce ensembles that match experimental data.

arXiv:2607. 21561v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Molecular property prediction from structure often uses a single representative conformation, even though many molecules exist as conformational ensembles in solution.

arXiv:2605. 01625v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Proteins are inherently multiscale physical systems whose functional properties emerge from coordinated structural organization across multiple spatial resolutions, ranging from atomic interactions to global fold topology.

arXiv:2607. 15309v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Proteins function through coordinated motion across multiple spatial and temporal scales, underpinning processes such as ligand binding, allostery, and catalysis.

arXiv:2607. 09998v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Macrocyclic peptides are an increasingly important therapeutic modality, but existing computational methods for modeling their structures and properties are limited in scope and do not generalize well across the synthetically accessible chemical space.

arXiv:2606. 14737v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations generate trajectories in a high-dimensional configuration space whose analysis critically depends on molecular descriptors, typically handcrafted observables or learned kinetic embeddings.

arXiv:2606. 19374v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Graph-based representations are widely used in protein modeling, yet many existing approaches rely primarily on sequence adjacency or geometric proximity, which only partially reflect the principles governing protein folding.
