4/ ⚡ Key highlights:
• Predicts dynamic contacts in seconds
• Matches/outperforms other methods in its task
• Generalizes to unseen systems (membrane proteins, de novo designs, multimers)
• Enables automatic CV selection for MSM construction

3/ 🧠 Built on ESMFold, ESMDynamic is trained on both experimental structure ensembles and MD simulations. It captures transient interactions across diverse protein systems.

2/ Most structure prediction models output static conformations, but proteins are dynamic. We introduce ESMDynamic, a deep learning model that predicts dynamic contact probability maps directly from sequence, no MSAs required.
