PottsMPNN

Design protein sequences and predict mutation energies from a protein backbone.

Overview

PottsMPNN combines structure-conditioned sequence design with a learned Potts energy model. Generate sequences for a protein backbone, optionally optimize them, or predict relative mutation energies for individual variants and saturation scans. Scores are model energies in arbitrary units, not calibrated thermodynamic measurements.

Features

  • Generate backbone-conditioned sequences with optional Potts or node optimization.
  • Score specific single or combined mutations, or scan all single substitutions.
  • Estimate binding mutation energies with explicit chain partitions.
  • Choose vanilla or soluble models, including MSA-trained checkpoints.

Statistics

Neurosnap periodically calculates runtime statistics based on job execution data. These estimates provide a general guideline for how long your job may take, but actual runtimes can vary significantly depending on factors like input size or settings used.
