Excerpt

Binder Design Tool Selection

Decision tree

De novo binder design?
│
├─ Standard target → BoltzGen (recommended)
│   All-atom output (no separate ProteinMPNN step needed)
│   Better for ligand/small molecule binding
│   Single-step design (backbone + sequence + side chains)
│
├─ Need diversity/exploration → RFdiffusion + ProteinMPNN
│   Maximum backbone diversity
│   Two-step: backbone then sequence
│
├─ Integrated validation → BindCraft
│   Built-in AF2 validation
│   End-to-end pipeline
│
├─ Ligand binding → BoltzGen ✓
│   All-atom diffusion handles ligand context
│
├─ Peptide/nanobody → Germinal
│   VHH/nanobody design
│   Germline-aware optimization
│
└─ Antibody/Nanobody
    +-- VHH design --> germinal skill
