AbstractThe rational design of new biomolecules, such as enzymes and therapeutic proteins, is essential for advancing medicine and creating sustainable chemical processes. However, conventional frameworks for discovering these molecules remain slow, fragmented, and largely rely on trial-and-error. This project promotes the progress of science by creating a new class of artificial intelligence (AI) models that can design complex biological molecules with unprecedented precision and speed. Specifically, t
