Pepti-drift is a one‑step peptide generation framework that uses a single latent refinement and parallel decoding, avoiding costly inference‑time guidance. It incorporates attraction toward target‑specific binders and repulsion from liability‑associated regions, achieving an 18.37% predicted Safe‑Active yield across 88 held‑out targets. The method delivers competitive gains to multi‑property‑guided baselines while reducing generation cost by 468×, enabling scalable and fair high‑throughput peptide design.
PepEVOLVE is a dynamic, position‑aware framework for optimizing macrocyclic peptides that learns where to edit and how to improve multiple properties. It enhances pretraining with dynamic masking and CHUCKLES shifting, employs a multi‑armed‑bandit router to identify high‑reward residues, and uses an evolving optimization algorithm with group‑relative advantage to stabilize updates. In in‑silico tests on a Rev‑binding macrocycle benchmark, PepEVOLVE surpassed PepINVENT, achieving higher permeability‑weighted scores and converging faster while respecting structural constraints.
Ensemble-Aware Structural Encoding (EASE) is a new framework that conditions protein encoders on peptide conformational ensembles rather than single sequences or structures. By selecting central conformers that capture a peptide’s major structural states and fusing their representations with a permutation‑invariant operator, EASE produces a peptide‑level representation that better reflects conformational variability. In evaluations on six peptide property‑prediction tasks, EASE consistently outperforms single‑structure baselines, achieving an average absolute gain of about 3.0% and improving further as more conformers are incorporated.
