arXiv:2606. 01833v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative emulators of protein dynamics produce plausible trajectories at a fraction of the cost of molecular dynamics, but they inherit their training distribution and tend to revisit known states rather than reach rare ones under long-horizon extrapolation.
arXiv:2506. 07459v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Protein generative models have shown remarkable promise in protein design, yet their success rates remain constrained by reliance on curated sequence-structure datasets and by misalignment between supervised objectives and real design goals.
The paper investigates a problem in guided protein language models where strong guidance causes the model’s internal representations to collapse onto a region indistinguishable from random amino‑acid input, leading to low‑complexity sequences that still score well on the targeted property. The authors identify this off‑manifold collapse as a detectable signature and propose a post‑hoc filtering technique—Mahalanobis filtering—that removes atypical candidates based on a density prior over natural activations. This simple, training‑free step improves both property scores and structural plausibility across different guidance methods without altering the generator.
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.
METALICA is a new method that combines Metadynamics with Replica Exchange on pretrained diffusion models to improve sampling of rare conformational states in proteins. It builds a bias potential along a chosen Collective Variable, pushes new samples away from previously visited ones, and reweights them to recover the unbiased distribution. By running one replica per diffusion level and allowing inter‑replica communication, METALICA can generate long Markov chains that uncover rare events, as demonstrated on a bimodal test system and on protein unfolding where it reveals a second free‑energy minimum that other methods miss.

arXiv:2605. 02427v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A recurring pattern in "reasoning without training" is that base LLMs already assign non-trivial probability mass to correct multi-step solutions; the bottleneck is locating these modes efficiently at inference time.
The paper introduces GenAIMMD, an iterative algorithm that learns the committor function and trains a conditioned Boltzmann Generator to generate uncorrelated transition paths without prior knowledge of the reaction coordinate. This method combines transition path sampling with committor learning, enabling fully parallelizable sampling. Benchmarks on a toy model and a polymer system show a substantial performance improvement over standard TPS.
arXiv:2606. 19377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computational enzyme design requires generating proteins that scaffold catalytic residues and ligands, a task that demands both geometric accuracy and structural diversity from the underlying generative model.
Studying the dynamical behavior of a system often depends on characterizing how it transitions between long-lived states. Because such transitions are rare, observing them usually requires specialized...
arXiv:2607. 02834v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Molecular optimization often starts from a pretrained generative model that captures a broad prior over valid molecular structures.
