🧬 De Novo Protein Design Lab

Interactive 3D simulator where a residue chain begins as scrambled noise and a diffusion-style denoising process gradually pulls it into a chosen folded shape, showing how generative AI sculpts brand-new protein backbones from randomness.

The simulation demonstrates the reverse-diffusion process at the heart of generative protein design: a chain of residues starts as a disordered random walk and is iteratively denoised toward a chosen target fold family.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

🎮 How to Use

Pick a target fold family, adjust the diffusion speed, and press Play to watch the chain organize itself from noise into structure; press Rebuild to scramble a fresh random design and run it again.

💡 Did You Know?

Real tools like RFdiffusion run this same coordinate-denoising process hundreds of times per second across GPU clusters, generating thousands of candidate protein backbones before a handful are ever synthesized in a lab.
