We have successfully trained OpenFold from scratch, our trainable PyTorch implementation of AlphaFold2. The new OpenFold (OF) (slightly) outperforms AlphaFold2 (AF2). I believe this is the first publicly available reproduction of AF2. We learned a lot. A🧵1/12

CASP14 #s just came out and they’re astounding—DeepMind looks to have solved protein structure prediction. Median GDT_TS went from 68.5 (CASP13) to 92.4!!!! Cf. their 2nd best CASP13 struct scored 92.8 (out of 100). Median RMSD is 2.1Å. I think it's over

Interesting status update from DeepMind on AlphaFold (just that, no model, paper, or code). All atom version in the works (similar to RFAA). Meaningful gains on small molecules but far from 'solved' (think AF1 vs AF2). Same w/nucleic acids and antibodies.

These are for single domains-not whole proteins-and there are a few poor predictions. So corner cases remain but core problem appears solved: 88% of predictions are <4Å, 76% <3Å, 46% <2Å. Unlike last time where there was some competition, this time AF2 was best for 88/97 targets.

A protein language model for MSAs. Likely relevant for the 'trunk' part of the AlphaFold2 model. Basically just an axial transformer with tied row attention, but they see a rather dramatic jump in performance.

This is great news! Our plans for OpenFold won’t change, as having a trainable platform is still incredibly valuable for modifying and building on AF2. The first step ofc is reproducing the AF2 weights independently which is what we’re currently working on.

A key finding is that AF2/OF accuracy climbs very sharply then tapers off for a long and gradual increase. While total training time took ~100K A100 hours, 90% of final accuracy could be achieved in ~3K hours. This has important implications for training AF2/OF variants. 4/12

As we saw with the recent AlphaFold-Multimer, some applications can benefit from training new AF2 variants and possibly integrating AF2 within larger models. DeepMind’s JAX version, while excellent, is missing training code. PyTorch is also more widely used, hence OpenFold.

1st is speed: OF inference is up to 2x faster on short proteins even when excluding JAX compilation. On longer proteins advantage lessens, until AF2 begins to OOM (see 2nd point). Inference speed is key when coupled with fast MSA schemes like MMseqs2 6/12

MSA generation is not slow. In ColabFold we generate MSAs in seconds using MMseqs2. This can be tweaked to run in < second using batch. Most of the time of AlphaFold/ColabFold is spent predicting the structure.

Should say that we will have in a couple of weeks a formal review paper out that is a high-level overview of AF2 and its implications.

Hearing Gorman recite today reminded me of Teddy Roosevelt’s words that we are “a new nation, based on a mighty continent, of boundless possibilities.” Optimism may not be our birthright but it is our national character, and for the 1st time in at least 10 months, I’m feeling it.

Looks interesting. Trains a language model (RoBERTa) on protein sequences then finetunes it for (binary) protein-protein interaction prediction.

Had an early look at this work and it’s really impressive stuff! Demonstrates the remarkable power of semi-supervised learning in very low N contexts.

Excited to share our latest pre-print🎉 - a framework for low-N protein engineering with data-efficient deep learning! Had a blast working with brilliant @EthanAlley @SurgeBiswas @kesvelt and @geochurch . Thread (1/7)

Georgy Derevyanko and @g_lamoureux_ have just made public a very cool PyTorch library for differentiable protein primitives, with optimized CUDA kernels!

Been a while since I've blogged, but I figured yesterday's paper release deserved some background. In this post I write a little more about the conceptual ideas that led me to end-to-end differentiability for proteins.

Been waiting for this to come out--really innovative work in geometric deep learning applied to protein-protein interactions and more.

Unusual approach for our lab - fantastic work from @pgainza + @Freyer02952299 and fun collaboration with @mmbronstein on using learning techniques for Deciphering interaction fingerprints from protein molecular surfaces". Take a look.

Really cool work: incorporate a learnable ODE model of signal transduction within an ML framework to predict cell response to perturbations. I happen to be writing a review in which I speculate that this should be possible. Kudos to the @sandercbio team for actually doing it!

Congratulations to @Liu_Changchang for passing her PhD defense with flying colors! Changchang is the first graduate student to be (co-)supervised by me (w/Peter Sorger), and I could not be more proud. Can't wait to see what you do next Changchang!

@atomadam2 @pollyp1 The lucky ones, yes, but not all (or even most I suspect.) Students in colleges or even universities without strong graduate programs can be quite isolated from academic norms.
