Protein Structure Prediction: From Evolutionary Constraints to Generative Modeling
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.16094v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate protein structure prediction is fundamental to structural biology because protein structure underlies molecular function and provides a basis for mechanistic interpretation. Recent advances in deep learning have transformed the field from multiple sequence alignment (MSA)-driven monomer folding into broader frameworks capable of modeling protein complexes and increasingly heterogeneous molecular systems. Existing reviews have summarized this progress from the perspectives of representative models, application domains, and protein design.
