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.
