The central idea

VibeGen uses a two-agent generative approach to propose protein sequences guided by target vibrational motions. It treats dynamics as information that can shape the design process.

What the work shows

A designer proposes sequences and a predictor evaluates their target normal-mode amplitudes. Full-atom simulations provide a computational check on the resulting vibrational behavior.

Scope of the result

A target mode describes part of a protein’s dynamics. It is not a complete specification of biological function.
