On the Selectivity of Generative Models in Structure-Based Drug Design / NeurIPS / '26

Introduces SelectBench, a comprehensive benchmark assessing the selectivity of generative structure-based drug design (SBDD) models. Evaluates nine representative models across literature case studies, safety panels, and large-scale target pairs to quantify off-target discrimination.

Do protein representations encode variant function? Diagnosing residue-level protein attributions via embedding-space gradients / bioRxiv / '26

Introduces IGLOO, a diagnostic framework that evaluates whether residue-level embedding gradients from protein language models faithfully capture functional importance against synthetic and experimental fitness landscapes.
