End-to-end guidance for protein design pipelines. Use this skill when: (1) Starting a new protein design project, (2) Need step-by-step workflow guidance, (3) Understanding the full design pipeline, (4) Planning compute resources and timelines, (5) Integrating multiple design tools. For tool selection, use binder-design. For QC thresholds, use protein-qc.
Guidance for choosing the right protein binder design tool. Use this skill when: (1) Deciding between BoltzGen, BindCraft, or RFdiffusion, (2) Planning a binder design campaign, (3) Understanding trade-offs between different approaches, (4) Selecting tools for specific target types. For specific tool parameters, use the individual tool skills (boltzgen, bindcraft, rfdiffusion, etc.).
Quality control metrics and filtering thresholds for protein design. Use this skill when: (1) Evaluating design quality for binding, expression, or structure, (2) Setting filtering thresholds for pLDDT, ipTM, PAE, (3) Checking sequence liabilities (cysteines, deamidation, polybasic clusters), (4) Creating multi-stage filtering pipelines, (5) Computing PyRosetta interface metrics (dG, SC, dSASA), (6) Checking biophysical properties (instability, GRAVY, pI), (7) Ranking designs with composite scoring. This skill provides research-backed thresholds from binder design competitions and published benchmarks.
All-atom protein design using BoltzGen diffusion model. Use this skill when: (1) Need side-chain aware design from the start, (2) Designing around small molecules or ligands, (3) Want all-atom diffusion (not just backbone), (4) Require precise binding geometries, (5) Using YAML-based configuration. For backbone-only generation, use rfdiffusion. For sequence-only design, use proteinmpnn. For structure validation, use boltz.
