ProteinMPNN

ProteinMPNN designs amino-acid sequences from protein backbones and provides full-backbone and Cα-only models.

Catalog updated ·

Overview

Helper scripts parse PDB inputs and specify chains, fixed residues and sequence constraints. It is a structure-conditioned sequence model, not a backbone generator.

Limitations

A suitable backbone is required. The observed default-branch commit is old; ongoing active maintenance is not established. Designs need further evaluation.

Key Features

  • Backbone-conditioned sequence design
  • Chain and residue constraints

Use Cases

  • Generate sequences for candidate backbones
  • Study designs with fixed residues

How to Use

Prepare the documented Python dependencies, parse an example PDB and run protein_mpnn_run.py with the chosen model, chains and constraints.
