LigandMPNN
Sequence design around ligands, metals and nucleotides
LigandMPNN extends ProteinMPNN with sidechain-aware message passing over arbitrary ligands, metal ions, nucleic acids and modified residues. It designs sequences in the presence of non-protein context, improving binding-site geometry and catalytic-residue placement. Essential for enzyme and binder redesign near cofactors or substrates.
LigandMPNN is live on FoldForge — load a structure, mark what to redesign, and press Design.
