Few-step Cofolding with All-Atom Flow Maps

arXiv:2606.08375v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: All-atom generative modeling of 3D biomolecular complexes has emerged as the dominant paradigm for predicting the structure of proteins and protein-ligand systems. Generating structures at the atomic level of fidelity, however, typically requires expensive iterative diffusion rollouts, making both conventional deployment and inference-time search techniques computationally costly. In this paper, we introduce the Denoiser Cofolding All-Atom Flowmap (DeCAF) framework for distilling state-of-the-art all-atom cofolding models into all-atom flow maps

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous advancements in AI and computational biology are pushing the boundaries of generative modeling, making efficiency improvements critical for real-world applications.

Why it’s important

This development significantly reduces the computational cost of all-atom generative modeling for biomolecular structures, accelerating drug discovery and synthetic biology applications.

What changes

The DeCAF framework makes high-fidelity biomolecular structure prediction more accessible and faster, lowering the barrier to entry for complex molecular design.
