Alterlab Ligandmpnn

alterlab-ieu/alterlab-ligandmpnn

Design protein sequences around bound ligands, metals, and nucleic acids with LigandMPNN (Dauparas 2023) — inverse folding that conditions on non-protein context, so binding-pocket and metal-site residues are chosen to fit the actual ligand. Use when designing a small-molecule or metal binding pocket, redesigning residues that contact a ligand/ion/nucleic acid, or doing enzyme active-site design where the substrate matters. For backbone sequence design with NO ligand/metal context prefer alterlab-proteinmpnn; to GENERATE a backbone or scaffold a functional site prefer alterlab-rfdiffusion; to validate a design by refolding prefer alterlab-alphafold; to co-fold or dock the ligand prefer alterlab-boltz or alterlab-diffdock.
