Детальный source-grounded разбор

sources identified Последняя сверка источников: 2026-08-27. Ниже — каркас обязательных разделов, заполненный из канонического YAML инструмента. Это не замена чтения primary paper / SI / model files. Поля без первоисточника помечены NR или MATRIX.

1. Что именно делает инструмент

[MATRIX]Вход: Optional family/function tags; optional seed/prefix

[MATRIX]Generated object: Amino-acid sequence

[MATRIX]Фиксируется: NR. Изменяется: NR.

[MATRIX]De novo или parent-based: Mostly de novo sequence; fine-tuning can localize a family.

2. Архитектура в одном абзаце

[MATRIX]Autoregressive Transformer; control tags / family conditioning

4. Математическая модель

NRТочные уравнения, losses и sampling solver будут внесены после чтения paper/code. Не подставляйте родовой UCB/transformer/diffusion, если он не подтверждён для этого инструмента.

Поля NR: conditional probability, update equations, sampling algorithm

5. Физическое устройство состояния

[MATRIX]Seed generated state / output: Amino-acid sequence. Structure generation: No dedicated structure/complex predictor.

6. Физико-химическая интерпретация

[INTERPRETATION]Координаты, frames, PLM embeddings или residue tokens не являются расчётом ΔG, электростатики или растворителя, пока это не сделано внешней energy function. Likelihood / pLDDT / docking score ≠ экспериментальный binding.

7. Training

[MATRIX]Данные: NR. Fine-tuning: NR. Negative examples: NR.

8. Inference

[MATRIX]Sampling: NR. Generation steps: NR. Runtime boundary: NR.

10. Почему, по мнению авторов, метод эффективен

[MATRIX]Author-reported summary (матрица): Prospective enzymatic function reported; not antibody evidence

NRCausal support не классифицирован, пока не прочитаны ablation и experimental sections.

12. Ablation analysis

NRAblation в этом выпуске не разобрана.

13. What the model does not represent

14. Evidence and limitations

[MATRIX]Evidence class (матрица): 4 prospective functional validation. Prospective binding: Prospective enzymatic function reported; not antibody evidence. Function: Prospective enzymatic function reported; not antibody evidence. Developability: NR.

15. Reproducibility
