Representing local protein environments with machine learning force fields

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2505.23354v5 Announce Type: replace-cross The local structure of a protein strongly impacts its function and interactions with other molecules. Therefore, a concise, informative representation of a local protein environment is essential for modeling and designing proteins and biomolecular interactions. However, these environments' extensive structural and chemical variability makes them challenging to model, and such representations remain under-explored.
