Show abstract
1Peptides carry out diverse biological functions and the knowledge of the conformational ensemble of polypeptides in various experimental conditions is important for biological applications. All fast dedicated softwares perform well in aqueous solution at neutral pH. In this study, we go one step beyond by combining the Debye-Huckel formalism for charged-charged amino acid interactions and a coarse-grained potential of the amino acids to treat pH and salt variations. Using the PEP-FOLD framework, we show that our approach performs as well as the machine-leaning AlphaFold2 and TrRosetta methods for 15 well-structured sequences, but shows significant improvement in structure prediction of six poly-charged amino acids and two sequences that have no homologous in the Protein Data Bank, expanding the range of possibilities for the understanding of peptide biological roles and the design of candidate therapeutic peptides.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
