• Abstract: Recently, diffusion- and flow-based generative models of protein structures have emerged as a powerful tool for de novo protein design. Here, we develop Proteina, a new large-scale flow-based protein backbone generator that utilizes hierarchical fold class labels for conditioning and relies on a tailored scalable transformer architecture with up to 5x as many parameters as previous models. To meaningfully quantify performance, we introduce a new set of metrics that directly measure the distributional similarity of generated proteins with reference sets, complementing existing metrics. We further explore scaling training data to millions of synthetic protein structures and explore improved training and sampling recipes adapted to protein backbone generation. This includes fine-tuning strategies like LoRA for protein backbones, new guidance methods like classifier-free guidance and autoguidance for protein backbones, and new adjusted training objectives. Proteina achieves state-of-the-art performance on de novo protein backbone design and produces diverse and designable proteins at unprecedented length, up to 800 residues. The hierarchical conditioning offers novel control, enabling high-level secondary-structure guidance as well as low-level fold-specific generation.

  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.

  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.
