De novo design of flexible protein interactions with GuideFlip

De novo design of protein binders requires a target structure. However, for flexible targets, such as intrinsically disordered proteins, this structure does not exist until the binder has stabilized the interaction. Such targets are therefore difficult for methods that separate structure generation from sequence design. We introduce GuideFlip, which co-designs structure and sequence through…
