ESMFold2 launches with open weights, predicting 1024-residue protein structures in 9 seconds without using multiple sequence alignments

Proteins are the machinery of life. Scientists have cataloged billions of protein sequences—but their biology is still mostly unknown. Today we're releasing a world model of protein biology: a scientific engine for prediction, design, and discovery that consists of ESMFold2, ESMC, and ESM Atlas. Together, they're helping to open up a new way for researchers to design proteins and speed up scientific discovery. Our mission is to cure or prevent disease. To do that, we need to accelerate science. That's why we're releasing all three openly. https://bit.ly/3PGf1dk
