• Abstract summary: Existing approaches generate both protein sequence and structure using either autoregressive models or diffusion models. We propose a new approach capable of protein sequence and structure co-design, which iteratively translates both protein sequence and structure into the desired state. Our model consists of a trigonometry-aware encoder that reasons geometrical constraints and interactions from context features. All protein amino acids are updated in one shot in each translation step, which significantly accelerates the inference process.

• Abstract: Proteins are macromolecules that perform essential functions in all living organisms. Designing novel proteins with specific structures and desired functions has been a long-standing challenge in the field of bioengineering. Existing approaches generate both protein sequence and structure using either autoregressive models or diffusion models, both of which suffer from high inference costs. In this paper, we propose a new approach capable of protein sequence and structure co-design, which iteratively translates both protein sequence and structure into the desired state from random initialization, based on context features given a priori. Our model consists of a trigonometry-aware encoder that reasons geometrical constraints and interactions from context features, and a roto-translation equivariant decoder that translates protein sequence and structure interdependently. Notably, all protein amino acids are updated in one shot in each translation step, which significantly accelerates the inference process. Experimental results across multiple tasks show that our model outperforms previous state-of-the-art baselines by a large margin, and is able to design proteins of high fidelity as regards both sequence and structure, with running time orders of magnitude less than sampling-based methods.

  Structure-based protein design aims to find structures that are designable, novel, and diverse. Generative models provide a compelling alternative, by implicitly learning the low-dimensional structure of complex data. We develop Genie, a generative model of protein structures that performs discrete-time diffusion using a cloud of oriented reference frames in 3D space.
