• Abstract: Accurate protein structure prediction from amino-acid sequences is critical to better understanding the protein function. Recent advances in this area largely benefit from more precise inter-residue distance and orientation predictions, powered by deep neural networks. However, the structure optimization procedure is still dominated by traditional tools, e.g. Rosetta, where the structure is solved via minimizing a pre-defined statistical energy function (with optional prediction-based restraints). Such energy function may not be optimal in formulating the whole conformation space of proteins. In this paper, we propose a fully-differentiable approach for protein structure optimization, guided by a data-driven generative network. This network is trained in a denoising manner, attempting to predict the correction signal from corrupted distance matrices between Ca atoms. Once the network is well trained, Langevin dynamics based sampling is adopted to gradually optimize structures from random initialization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our EBM-Fold approach can efficiently produce high-quality decoys, compared against traditional Rosetta-based structure optimization routines.

We propose a sequence-based hierarchical prediction method, DeepGATGO, which processes protein sequences and GO term labels hierarchically.
