A typical result

Screenshot placeholder. After sign-in, jobs land at /jobs/<id> with ranked scores, downloadable PDB / FASTA artifacts, and a one-click handoff into the next tool in the pipeline.

What good looks like

Use the score legend below to read results. Each tool reports a subset of these depending on whether it does design, sequence recovery, or structure prediction.

ipTM
Predicted confidence in the binder to target interface. Higher is better. Aim above roughly 0.7 on a tractable target.
pLDDT
Per-residue confidence in the predicted fold. Higher means the model is more sure of that part of the structure.
i_pAE and pAE
Predicted alignment error, at the interface (i_pAE) or across the whole structure (pAE). Lower is better.
ProteinMPNN recovery
Fraction of native residues recovered when ProteinMPNN redesigns a known sequence on its native backbone. Higher is better; well calibrated above roughly 0.4 on diverse folds.
