Emyx: Fast and efficient all-atom protein generation

Emyx, a 140M-parameter conditional flow matching model, achieves superior protein generation performance while requiring 4x less training compute than existing systems like RFdiffusion3. The model demonstrates that enzyme design generators can operate efficiently without inheriting expensive architectures from structure prediction systems, outperforming larger competitors on strict geometric accuracy and structural diversity benchmarks.

Protein contacts are already in the attention: a single-forward-pass alternative to the Categorical Jacobian

Researchers demonstrate that protein contact prediction can be extracted from language model attention heads in a single forward pass, outperforming the computationally expensive Categorical Jacobian method on clean test data. The findings reveal that contact information is concentrated in a small subset of attention heads, requiring only 10 labeled proteins for head selection.
