we've seen customers reaching back to physics based methods in order to solve their molecular modeling problems. In our latest post we explore how you can use the Rosetta "pocket opener" method with Boltz-2 to generate better protein-ligand models than Boltz-2 alone levitate.bio/boltz/ai/ml/...
Advancing Drug Discovery with Rosetta Pocket Protocols and Boltz-2: Finding and Modeling Druggable Binding Sites
In the evolving field of computational drug design, two of the most important challenges are identifying druggable surface pockets on proteins and predicting how strongly small molecules will bind to ...

As @rolanddunbrack.bsky.social recently discovered, one of the issues with the ipTM score used AF2 to represent the ipTM score is that it is biased by disordered regions of the protein outside the binding interface. To address this, he implemented a new metric, ipSAE.

BindCraft: one-shot design of functional protein binders
Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are at the core of all key biological processes. However, the complexity of the structural features that determine PPIs makes their design challenging. We present B...

I sometimes forget how flexible proteins are. It becomes really apparent when you use NMR states for an animation. That poor cofactor is getting pushed around a lot 😅

Quiz: Side chains R K E Q I M have 9 chi1+chi2 rotamers. They are:

{g+g+} {g+t} {g+g-} {tg+} {tt} {tg-} {g-g+} {g-t} {g-g-}.
4 of these have high energy & v. low populations compared to rest. Which 4? Why?

Leu has only 2 good rotamers. Which ones? why?

Good struct bio final exam Question.
First reason is conceptual - rotamer libraries provide discrete conformations for sampling, which MM force fields do not (explicitly anyway). BBdep rotamer library ranks & scores (via -log(p)) rotamers as f(phi,psi). Rosetta/SCWRL take top 95% of probability density. Limits sampling to top rotamers.
