Designing Protein Structures from Natural Language

We develop Prompteina, the first all-atom structure generation model that supports new and broader design objectives specified in natural language, analogous to text-to-image generation.

Key points

  • A central challenge in de novo protein design is generating proteins with desired structural and functional properties.
  • To train Prompteina, we construct Prompteina-Data, a paired text--protein structure dataset of 1.8M structures and 50M+ captions describing global and residue-specific structural and functional properties.
  • We adapt Proteina-Complexa, a pretrained structure generation model, through text-conditioned pretraining and finetuning that aligns residues with their corresponding text.
  • These results establish natural language as an effective and powerful conditioning interface for protein structure generation.
