Conditional Protein Structure Generation with Protpardelle-1c.

We present Protpardelle-1c, a collection of protein structure generative models with robust motif scaffolding and support for multi-chain complex generation under hotspot-conditioning. Enabling sidechain-conditioning to a backbone-only model increased Protpardelle-1c's MotifBench score from 4.97 to 28.16, outperforming RFdiffusion's 21.27. The crop-conditional all-atom model achieved 208 unique solutions on the La-Proteina all-atom motif scaffolding benchmark, on par with La-Proteina while having ~10 times fewer parameters. At 22M parameters, Protpardelle-1c enables rapid sampling, taking 40 minutes to sample all 3000 MotifBench backbones on an NVIDIA A100-80GB, compared to 31 hours for RFdiffusion.
