Co-folding model guided by structural proteomics

arXiv:2605.26192v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Protein structure generative models excel at predicting single protein static structures from sequence, but routinely fail to capture the correct conformational state of protein complexes, critical for protein design and induced proximity modalities such as antibodies and PROTACs. While structural proteomics techniques like Cross-Linking Mass Spectrometry (XL-MS) and Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange (HDX-MS) offer valuable spatial and dynamic insights, integrating these sparse, heterogeneous measurements into these models remains an open challenge.
