SimpleDesign is a single-stage, end-to-end model for joint protein sequence and structure design that eliminates the need for multi-stage training. It combines discrete cross-entropy for sequences with a regression objective for structures, using a Mixture-of-Transformer architecture to handle modality-specific processing while maintaining global self-attention. Trained on over 2 million sequence-structure pairs, SimpleDesign achieves strong performance on co-design and unconditional generation benchmarks.
