Sequence-Informed Geometric Evaluation of RNA 3D Structures

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces SIRGE, a sequence-informed geometric evaluator for RNA 3D structures that integrates nucleotide embeddings from a pretrained RNA language model into structural representations. SIRGE demonstrates superior performance over existing evaluators in Kendall–τ alignment, Top‑1 selection, and Top‑3 ranking. Controlled experiments reveal that sequence conditioning corrects errors of a purely geometric model and enhances target‑level ranking, suggesting that pretrained sequence representations provide complementary ranking information to geometric reasoning.

RiboSphere: Learning Unified and Efficient Representations of RNA Structures

arXiv:2603. 19636v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Accurate RNA structure modeling remains difficult because RNA backbones are highly flexible, non-canonical interactions are prevalent, and experimentally determined 3D structures are comparatively scarce.

SymFold: Synergizing Evolutionary and Structural Priors for Accurate Protein Inverse Folding

SymFold introduces a symmetric dual‑path architecture that combines protein language models (PLMs) and multimodal protein language models (MPLMs) to iteratively guide protein sequence generation for inverse folding. By leveraging pretrained sequence evolution knowledge from PLMs and structural knowledge from MPLMs, the method improves upon the traditional serial pipeline where structure encoders produce coarse sequences refined by PLMs. Experiments on standard inverse‑folding benchmarks show state‑of‑the‑art performance, and ablation studies confirm the effectiveness of the symmetric design.
