When we design molecule we often want to target properties which are averages for the Boltzmann ensemble, rather than a single configuration or graph. Yet, current property-guided 3D generative models condition on single conformers. We target this with Boltzmann-Expected Design

Is #AI hitting a plateau in structure prediction? Help us find out at CASP17! 🧪🧬 Calling for Targets: Immune Complexes, protein - ligand complexes, RNA/DNA, conformational ensembles, membrane proteins, viral origins, and large complexes. The Rule of Thumb: If AF3 can’t model it, we want it.
The Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) experiment is calling for prediction targets: Immune Complexes, Organic Ligand-Protein Complexes, Nucleic Acids and Complexes, Conformational Ensembles, Difficult Protein Structures and Complexes. 
Rule of Thumb: If AlphaFold3 can generate a high-quality model, it is likely not a CASP-grade challenge. If it struggles, we want it.
