CalphaEBM is a physics-based, machine-learned modular energy function for Cα protein coordinates that enables stable Langevin dynamics simulation. The model decomposes the effective free energy (potential of mean force) into four interpretable terms.
- Modular energy: Local geometry, excluded volume, secondary structure, and packing
- Langevin dynamics: Stable conformational sampling simulation
- Denoising score matching: Train without partition function
- Safety features: Smooth switching, bounded radii, force caps
- Multiple output formats: DCD, NPY, PT, PDB for compatibility with MD tools
