| 2026 | HighRes_Builder: improved access and modeling of noncanonical residues for protein structure predictionabstractThe growing support for noncanonical amino acids in structure prediction tools such as AlphaFold3 has been largely facilitated by the Chemical Component Dictionary (CCD). However, the limited coverage of modified residues in CCD continues to restrict the application of these models to many biologically and therapeutically relevant peptides. To address this gap, we present HighRes_Builder, a computational method for efficient residue search and automated construction of noncanonical amino acids not currently archived in CCD. We demonstrate the utility of our approach by predicting structures for 3179 noncanonical residues beyond the CCD using AlphaFold3. AlphaFold3 achieved 100% acceptance for both the noncanonical residue monomers and their corresponding 'GGXGG' motifs (where X denotes the noncanonical residue). Of these, 72.44% of the predicted residue monomer structures concurrently satisfy all five geometric criteria (d_N_C1, d_Ck_Ccarb, d_Ccarb_O_mean, ang_Ck_Ccarb_O_mean, and ang_O1_Ccarb_O2). Furthermore, among the generated motif structures, 85.78% exhibited favorable ω values for the embedded noncanonical residues. Furthermore, by integrating HighRes_Builder with structure prediction systems, AlphaFold3 for linear peptides and HighFold3 for cyclic peptides, we successfully model the conformation of the linear peptide drug Relamorelin and the cyclic therapeutic peptides LUNA18 and JNJ-77242113 in complex with their target proteins, elucidating structural determinants of their mechanism of action. This work establishes a scalable and accurate framework for structure prediction of diverse nonstandard peptides, highlighting its potential to accelerate rational design of peptide-based therapeutics.

| 2026 | MolPIF: a parameter interpolation flow model for molecule generationabstractMOTIVATION: Structure-based drug design (SBDD) has advanced with deep generative models, but bridging the gap between continuous atomic coordinates and discrete atom types remains a challenge. Current approaches, such as diffusion and flow matching models, often fail to unify these heterogeneous modalities, relying on separate strategies or ill-fitting Euclidean metrics for discrete variables. This lack of a consistent framework limits generative models' ability to capture the geometric and chemical structure of protein-ligand complexes. RESULTS: We present MolPIF, a parameter interpolation flow mechanism designed to unify the generation of continuous and discrete molecular variables. Unlike traditional flow models that operate in sample space, MolPIF interpolates between distributions in the parameter space, theoretically recovering Wasserstein-2 optimal transport for continuous coordinates and establishing Fisher-Rao geodesics for discrete atom types. We further incorporate a geometry-enhanced learning strategy to improve the capture of atomic contexts. Extensive evaluations on the CrossDocked2020 dataset demonstrate that MolPIF outperforms baselines in binding affinity, chemical validity, geometric fidelity, and chemical space coverage. Additionally, MolPIF exhibits versatility in lead optimization and offers flexible prior distribution selection (such as Laplace), establishing a robust paradigm for SBDD.
