Features

  • Predicts zinc-ion binding locations directly from protein structure without requiring the expected number of sites.
  • Uses an SE(3)-equivariant score-based diffusion model to generate candidate metal coordinates.
  • Applies an optional learned confidence model and spatial clustering to produce final zinc-site predictions.
  • Returns visualization-ready protein-plus-zinc and zinc-only PDB files with human-readable CSV summaries.

Statistics
