Generalizable and scalable protein stability prediction with rewired protein generative models

Ziang Li, Yunan Luo

Nature Communications 2026

We developed SPURS (stability prediction using a rewired strategy), the SOTA protein stability predictor, to benefit protein function understanding, such as functional site discovery, fitness prediction, and pathogenicity.

Deconvolving mutation effects on protein stability and function with disentangled protein language models

Kerr Ding, Ziang Li, Tony Tu, Jiaqi Luo, Yunan Luo

RECOMB 2026

DETANGO disentangles functional and stability constraints in protein function modeling by integrating evolutionary and thermodynamic predictors, and evaluates this relationship following the SPURS functional site identification task.
