arXiv:2606.31332v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Protein automodeling from cryo-EM density maps faces unique challenges in enforcing physicochemical validity and managing conformational heterogeneity. Current solvers are often limited to static predictions or require computationally intensive heuristic searches. We present CryoACE, an end-to-end framework that reconstructs precise atomic graphs for both homogeneous and heterogeneous structures. Our method features two key innovations: an atom-centric reconstruction paradigm, where density features are sampled directly at atomic coordinates and
The development of CryoACE reflects ongoing advancements in AI and computational methods, specifically addressing bottlenecks in cryo-electron microscopy for protein structure determination.
This innovation offers significant acceleration and accuracy in understanding protein structures, critical for drug discovery, synthetic biology, and fundamental biological research.
The ability to accurately and automatically build atom-centric models from cryo-EM data, including heterogeneous structures, will make high-resolution protein modeling more accessible and efficient.
