Massive collaborative effort we had the pleasure to contribute to !

[Christian Dallago @sacdallago]

🧵 We ran the largest head-to-head benchmark of protein binder design methods in the wet lab.

Project page: https://t.co/eSG5qcCPQB

1 million designs. 127 targets. RFdiffusion, BindCraft, BoltzGen, and Proteina-Complexa — all tested side by side.👇
