Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to greatly increase the speed, quality
and controllability of antibody design. Traditional de novo antibody discovery requires time …

Chemically synthesized, small peptides that bind with high affinity and specificity to CD8-expressing
(CD8+) tumor-infiltrating T cells, yet retain the desirable characteristics of small …

Deep learning approaches have demonstrated the ability to design protein sequences given
backbone structures [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. While these approaches have been applied in silico to …

… We define a protein graph as a directed graph where residues are represented as nodes
and share edges with their k nearest neighbors. We use k = 48 in all of our experiments. We …
