🔬Beyond AlphaFold: How Boltz Is Open-Sourcing the Future of Drug Discovery
In this episode, Gabriele Corso and Jeremy Wohlwend discuss how structural biology has moved beyond AlphaFold's single‑chain predictions toward modeling complex interactions and generative protein design with their open‑source Boltz suite (Boltz‑1, Boltz‑2, and BoltzGen). They explain that evolutionary co‑variation enabled the breakthrough in monomeric structure prediction, but the next frontier is handling uncertainty, multiple conformations, and affinity prediction for protein‑ligand and protein‑protein interfaces using diffusion‑based generative models and equivariant architectures. Real‑world validation shows Boltz‑2 can design nanomolar binders for previously unseen targets, and the newly launched Boltz Lab provides fast, scalable agents for researchers, aiming to democratize access and build a self‑sustaining community.
