Packora is a flow-based generative model designed for molecular crystal structure prediction (CSP). It jointly predicts atomic coordinates and lattice parameters from molecular graphs, supporting multi-component and organometallic crystals and allowing conditioning on conformers, stereochemistry, and space-group data. In evaluations inspired by the CCDC CSP blind test, Packora outperforms baselines on generation and ranking benchmarks, achieving superior matched-budget coverage, higher experimental-form recovery, lower ranks, and faster convergence.

The paper introduces two closed‑form projection operators that enforce physical validity in biomolecular diffusion models during inference. One operator resolves inter‑chain van der Waals clashes, while the other restores ligand geometry, including bond lengths, angles, planarity, and chirality. These lightweight, model‑agnostic corrections preserve structural accuracy and ligand placement across multiple benchmarks without adding runtime or memory overhead.

Molecular crystal structure prediction (CSP) is important in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and organic electronics, where subtle differences in molecular conformation and packing can strongly affect...
Zatom-2 is a multitask generative model for atomistic data that has been pretrained on about five million structures from the OMol25 and OMat24 datasets. It uses a multiscale Transformer with conditional flow matching to support tasks such as generation, structure prediction, and energy/force prediction for both molecules and materials. The model outperforms its predecessor, Zatom-1, on molecular distribution fidelity and benchmark generation tasks, and improves protein backbone designability from 67.8% to 74.8% after finetuning on 2,000 protein domains.

The paper introduces CG-OMatG, an equivariant Riemannian flow-based generative model that predicts molecular crystal structures using a coarse-grained, hierarchical representation. It treats molecules as rigid bodies, performs inter- and intra-molecular message passing, and learns to reconstruct molecule centroids, orientations, and lattice parameters conditioned on chemical species and conformer geometry. The model is trained on OMC25 and CSD datasets, fine-tuned with policy gradient reinforcement learning to favor low-energy structures, and validated against a CSP blind test benchmark using COMPACK packing-similarity analysis.

The paper introduces MCTH (Monte Carlo Tree Hallucination), an inference-only framework that performs all‑atom biomolecular sequence‑structure co‑design by treating pretrained folding and inverse‑folding models as black‑box operators. MCTH uses Monte Carlo Tree Search to allocate a fixed inference budget across competing design trajectories, incorporating model confidence, uncertainty, and cross‑expert consensus. Experiments across protein‑RNA, protein‑DNA, protein‑protein, and protein‑ligand design show that adaptive search outperforms simpler sampling strategies, and evaluations with AlphaFold3 and Chai‑1 demonstrate transferability beyond the search‑time oracle.

The paper introduces CrystAF, an all‑atom crystal flow‑map generation model, and evaluates where physics should be incorporated into generative crystal structure models. By applying physics‑informed post‑training, the authors improve molecular validity and crystal packing without altering sampling speed, while inference‑time corrections further refine the structures. The study demonstrates that post‑training and inference‑time physics are complementary, and that the post‑training approach transfers to other generators such as Clari‑M and MolCrystalFlow.
