For decades, the existence of the hydrophobic core, a region in the 3D structure of proteins where hydrophobic amino acids reside together, has been considered a general property in proteins. What we have found now may extend that model.

arXiv:2608. 16094v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate protein structure prediction is fundamental to structural biology because protein structure underlies molecular function and provides a basis for mechanistic interpretation.
arXiv:2605. 01625v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Proteins are inherently multiscale physical systems whose functional properties emerge from coordinated structural organization across multiple spatial resolutions, ranging from atomic interactions to global fold topology.
arXiv:2606. 14737v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations generate trajectories in a high-dimensional configuration space whose analysis critically depends on molecular descriptors, typically handcrafted observables or learned kinetic embeddings.
arXiv:2607. 16087v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AlphaFold2's 93 million parameters, shaped by the evolutionary record of protein structure encoded in the Protein Data Bank and in sequence alignments, are conventionally treated only as machinery for converting sequence to structure.
arXiv:2602. 06020v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: How do protein structure prediction models fold proteins?
arXiv:2606. 11651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic random heteropolymers (RHPs), consisting of a predefined set of monomers, offer an approach toward the design of protein-like materials.
