Researchers have developed FoldingDiff, a novel generative model for protein structure generation that mimics the natural folding process. By focusing on internal angles of protein backbones rather than Cartesian coordinates, FoldingDiff achieves a breakthrough in generating biologically plausible protein structures. This approach allows for the design of diverse and complex protein forms, overcoming previous limitations in protein design. The method represents a significant advance towards creating new proteins for therapeutic and industrial applications.
