> Goal-oriented binder design campaign planning and health assessment. (2) Converting high-level goals into runnable pipelines, (3) Assessing campaign health and pass rates, (4) Diagnosing why designs are failing QC, (5) Estimating time, cost, and expected yields, (6) Selecting between design tools for a specific target. This skill orchestrates the other protein design tools. For individual tool parameters, use the specific tool skills.

When user says: "I need 10 good binders for EGFR"
Campaign Planning:
Goal: 10 high-quality binders for EGFR
├── Achievable: Yes (standard target)
├── Recommended pipeline: rfdiffusion → proteinmpnn → chai → protein-qc
├── Estimated designs needed: 500 backbones (to get ~50 passing QC)
├── Estimated time: 8-12 hours total
├── Estimated cost: ~$60 (Modal GPU compute)
└── Expected yield:
├── After backbone (500): 500 structures
├── After sequence (×8): 4,000 sequences
├── After validation: 4,000 predictions
├── After QC (~10-15%): 400-600 candidates
└── After clustering: 10-20 diverse final designs
# Step 1: Fetch and prepare target (5 min)
curl -o target.pdb "https://files.rcsb.org/download/{PDB_ID}.pdb"
# Trim to binding region if needed
# Step 2: Generate backbones (2-3h, ~$15)
# RFdiffusion runs from the official repo, not biomodals
python run_inference.py \
inference.input_pdb=target.pdb \
contigmap.contigs=[A1-150/0 70-100] \
ppi.hotspot_res=[A45,A67,A89] \
inference.num_designs=500
# Checkpoint: ls output/*.pdb | wc -l # Should be 500
# Step 3: Design sequences (1-2h, ~$10)
for f in output/*.pdb; do
modal run modal_ligandmpnn.py \
--input-pdb "$f" \
--params-str "--number_of_batches 8 --temperature 0.1"
done
# Checkpoint: grep -c "^>" output/seqs/*.fa # Should be ~4000
# Step 4: Quick ESM2 filter (30 min, ~$5, optional)
modal run modal_esm2_predict_masked.py --input-faa output/all_seqs.fa
# Filter sequences with PLL < 0.0
# Step 5: Structure validation (3-4h, ~$35)
modal run modal_alphafold.py \
--input-faa output/filtered_seqs.fa \
--out-dir predictions/
# Checkpoint: find predictions -name "*rank_001.pdb" | wc -l
# Step 6: Filter and rank (protein-qc skill)
# Apply thresholds: pLDDT > 0.85, ipTM > 0.5, scRMSD < 2.0
# Compute composite score
# Cluster at 70% identity, select top from each cluster
Total estimated time: 8-12 hours
Total estimated cost: ~$60-70
| Goal | Backbones | Sequences/BB | Total Seq | Expected Passing |
|------|-----------|--------------|-----------|------------------|
| 5 binders | 200 | 8 | 1,600 | 160-240 |
| 10 binders | 500 | 8 | 4,000 | 400-600 |
| 20 binders | 1,000 | 8 | 8,000 | 800-1,200 |
| 50 binders | 2,500 | 8 | 20,000 | 2,000-3,000 |
Rule of thumb: Generate 50x more designs than you need (10-15% pass rate × clustering).
| Scenario | Recommended Tool | Reason |
|----------|------------------|--------|
| Standard miniprotein | RFdiffusion + ProteinMPNN | High diversity, proven |
| Need higher success rate | BindCraft | Integrated design loop |
| All-atom precision needed | BoltzGen | Side-chain aware |
| Difficult target | Mosaic | Gradient, multi-model objective |
| Need fast iteration | ESMFold2 + ESM2 | Quick screening |
| Indicator | Easy Target | Difficult Target |
|-----------|-------------|------------------|
| Surface type | Concave pocket | Flat or convex |
| Conservation | High | Low |
| Known binders | Yes | No |
| Flexibility | Rigid | Flexible |
| Expected pass rate | 15-20% | 5-10% |
