A structure-aware generative AI framework for revealing functional relationships in protein families
Proteins can be studied through their sequence statistics or structural properties. These represent complementary views that are useful but lack a quantitative framework to tell, family by family, which is most informative and how to combine them. We introduce a framework that builds both views in parallel: amino acid (AA) alignments are translated into parallel alignments over a 3D interaction (3Di) structure-informed alphabet. Variational autoencoders compress each into a two-dimensional map, and direct coupli…
Pairing amino acid and 3Di structural alignments in generative landscapes recovered known subfamilies and revealed evolutionary relationships in viral glycoproteins that sequence alone did not show.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1381 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
