Advances in biomolecular modeling have broadened the range of problems addressable by structure prediction and design models. Here, we present results from Protenix-v2, a system spanning high-accuracy structure prediction and biomolecular design. On the structure prediction side, Protenix-v2 achieves antibody-antigen success rates with up to 13-point gains over Protenix-v1, while 5-seed performance surpasses previous 1000-seed results. On the design side, Protenix-v2 demonstrates a 100% target-level success rate in novelty-controlled VHH-Fc campaigns, reaching hit rates up to 48%. Crucially, the model enables hit discovery on difficult GPCR targets with hit rates of 16%-88% (VHH-Fc) and up to 50% (mAb) under 16-30 testing budgets per target. Resulting hits show high developability and diversity. Beyond antibody tasks, we report improved ligand-related plausibility and successful cross-variant SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD mini-binder design. These results establish Protenix-v2 as a robust and powerful model for accelerated drug discovery.

"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.
