## Overview of Protein Design



AI tools have solved the protein structure prediction problem. This problem derives the spatial structure from the amino acid sequence and achieves atomic-level prediction accuracy, such as [AlphaFold 2](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03819-2). It combines previous protein structure prediction models to automatically learn protein design methods, thus truly serving human pharmaceutical needs.

The specific practices of protein design vary widely, and the problem definitions applicable to different design processes are also very different. Here are some examples: 



1. A problem of predicting amino acid sequences from spatial structure (the inverse of Alphafold), which assumes that the spatial structure of the desired protein can be derived through molecular dynamics simulations, etc.

2. A problem of protein structure completion problem for a given partial structure, such as the recent Science [1] by the famous David Baker group. This assumes that only partial structural matches can be found. 

3. Combination of the fitted energy function with MD simulation for protein design, such as the recent Nature [2] of Liu Haiyan's team in China.



In addition, many methods can be used for protein design, and the corresponding AI problem definitions are also very different. This article lists some high-level articles in AI-based protein design, which will be continuously updated in the future.
