Benchmarking AI-generated structural ensembles of membrane proteins against physics-based modelling

It is demonstrated that BioEmu can generate plausible conformational ensembles for relatively large, six-and seven-pass membrane proteins, sampling rare states at a fraction of the computational cost of conventional MD simulations, suggesting that AI-based ensemble generation could provide an accessible approach for exploring membrane protein dynamics and complement conventional molecular modelling approaches.
