OmniScore: Universal Scoring of Diverse Biomolecular Complexes via Equivariant Geometry-Aware Discrete Representation Learning

Scoring biomolecular complexes is central to structure assessment and drug discovery, yet the complexes themselves vary widely in pose, size, and molecular composition. A scoring function tuned for one interaction type rarely carries over to another, and most existing methods compound the problem by leaning heavily on task-specific labels. We introduce OmniScore, a universal structure-based framework that learns a shared geometry-aware representation of complexes once and then adapts it to downstream scoring through lightweight task-specific heads. OmniScore couples a graph view and a sequence view of each structure, encodes its three-dimensional geometry, and compresses representations into a compact latent space that a reconstruction module and prediction heads can reuse. We pretrain this backbone on diverse datasets including complexes, monomers, and small molecules with complementary objectives: coordinate recovery, correcting corrupted input tokens, predicting molecular identity, and grounding the representation in structure-level physical quantities. Across the evaluated benchmarks, OmniScore gave the best antibody-antigen and nanobody-antigen quality assessment on all reported metrics compared to state-of-the-art baselines. Its frozen residue embeddings matched the state-of-the-art protein-tokenization method with an average functional-site accuracy of 71.8% on a standard residue-level benchmark. On protein-ligand scoring and ranking benchmarks, it performed on par with methods built specifically for that single task. These results suggest that geometry-aware pretraining can provide a reusable scoring backbone for tasks that depend on interfacial and residue-level structure, within the evaluated settings.
