SimpleDesign: A Joint Model for Protein Sequence and Structure Codesign

SimpleDesign is a joint generative model that learns protein sequences and structures together. It replaces the traditional two‑stage autoencoder pipeline with a single‑stage training that directly maps raw sequences to 3D coordinates, reducing training time and improving fidelity. Benchmarks show it matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art methods on protein design tasks, offering a more efficient approach for drug discovery and protein engineering.
