Leveraging generative hallucination and biophysics-informed modeling for unified biomolecular sequence-structure co-design

arXiv:2608. 17381v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Biomolecular design underpins applications from molecular recognition to therapeutics and synthetic biology, yet de novo interaction design remains challenging-especially for DNA/RNA, underexplored non-protein modalities with scarce, heterogeneous complex data and sharper geometric and chemical constraints.
