Have protein-ligand cofolding methods moved beyond memorisation?
<p>Recorded: 16/4/2026</p>
<p>Dr. Janani Durairaj (Biozentrum, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland)</p>
<p>Abstract: Deep learning has driven major breakthroughs in protein structure prediction, however the next critical advance is accurately predicting how proteins interact with small molecule ligands, to enable real-world applications such as drug discovery. Recent cofolding methods aim to address this challenge, but evaluating their performance has been inconclusive due to the lack o...
