Proteus

PyTorch Implementation for Proteus: Exploring Protein Structure Generation for Enhanced Designability and Efficiency.

Overview

Proteus is a novel deep diffusion network designed to generate protein backbones with enhanced designability and efficiency. Unlike RFDiffusion which relies on large pre-trained network RosettaFold for structure prediction, Proteus utilizes graph-based triangle methods and a multi-track interaction network, achieving state-of-the-art performance without the need for pre-training. Notably, the inference speed has been accelerated from 4x up to 10x compared to FrameDiff and RFdiffusion. Our model's capabilities have been validated through comprehensive in silico evaluations and experimental characterizations, demonstrating its potential to significantly advance the field of protein design.

Install

We recommend miniconda (or anaconda). Run the following to install a conda environment with the necessary dependencies. Using mamba if possible for better install speed.

# install
conda env create -f se3.yml
# optional : using mamba for faster environment installation
conda install mamba
mamba env create -f se3.yml

# activate environment
conda activate Proteus

# install this repo as a local package
pip install -e .

Inference

The checkpoint is avaiable at ./weights/paper_weights.pt

monomer inference(command used in paper)

For the first time run, it might be a little slow because of downloading esmfold ckpt

weight_path=./weights/paper_weights.pt
python ./experiments/inference_se3_diffusion.py \
inference.output_dir=inference_outputs/monomer/ \
inference.weights_path=$weight_path \
inference.diffusion.samples.samples_lengths=[100,200,300,400,600,800] \
inference.diffusion.samples.samples_per_length=100 \
inference.diffusion.num_t=100

# config below is optional

# To disable esmfold prediction and mpnn design, add extra config
inference.mpnn.enable=False inference.esmfold.enable=False

# To disable esmfold prediction add extra config
inference.esmfold.enable=False

A self_consistency.csv will be generated in the inference_outputs/monomer/${timestap}/self_consistency.csv, report all necessary metrics like dssp or sc-rmsd, etc.

oligomer inference

baseline_weight_path=./weights/paper_weights.pt
python ./experiments/inference_se3_diffusion.py \
inference.output_dir=inference_outputs/oligomer/ \
inference.weights_path=$baseline_weight_path \
inference.diffusion.samples.contigs='60-80//60-80' \
inference.diffusion.samples.samples_per_length=100 \
inference.diffusion.num_t=100

Inference output wuold be like
