Biohub Integrations

ESMC is the latest in the ESM family of protein language models, establishing a new frontier in representation learning for protein biology. Trained on billions of evolutionary sequences, it learns representations that reflect a mechanistic reduction of protein structure and function. The model is built on a transformer architecture, supports sequences as its core modality, and is trained on up to 6 billion proteins. ESMC is designed for protein science research, including structure prediction, function annotation, protein design, and understanding evolutionary relationships between proteins. It can generate novel proteins from partial sequence, structure, or functional constraints, helping researchers explore new possibilities in protein design and biological discovery. The Biohub Platform provides access to ESMC through the API and the ESM Python package, with quickstart resources for installing the package, creating an API key, connecting to the platform.

ESMFold2 is the successor to ESMFold, setting a new state of the art for single-sequence structure prediction and enabling the generation of new functional proteins through searching the ESMC model’s latent space. The model predicts high-resolution, all-atom 3D structures of biomolecular complexes directly from sequence, with optional multiple sequence alignment input for enhanced accuracy on challenging targets. It is designed for structure prediction using sequence and structure modalities, with ESM representations powering a series of looped folding layers and a diffusion model projecting pairwise representations to atomic-resolution predictions. ESMFold2 predicts protein structures directly from amino acid sequences and outputs comprehensive structural information, including all-atom coordinates for backbone and side chains, confidence metrics, and optional distogram predictions for detailed structural analysis.
