Abstract

The electrochemical behaviour of the biomedical and metallic alloys, especially in the orthopaedic implants fields, raises many questions. This study is dedicated for studying the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, EIS, in various physiological media,: Ringer solution, phosphate buffered solution (PBS), PBS solution and albumin, PBS solution with calf serum and PBS solution with calf serum and an antioxidant (sodium azide). Moreover, the desionised water was considered as the reference solution. The tests reproducibility was investigated. The time-frequency-Module graphs highlighted that the desionised water is the most protective for the Ti-6Al-4V alloy. This biomedical alloy is the less protected in the solution constituted by PBS and albumin. The time-frequency graph allows pointing out the graphic signatures of adsorption for organic and inorganic species (differences between the modules means in studied solution and the modules mean in the reference solution). --- Le comportement \'electrochimique des alliages m\'etalliques biom\'edicaux, notamment dans le domaine des implants orthop\'ediques, pose encore de nombreuses questions. Ce travail propose d'\'etudier l'alliage de titane Ti-6Al-4V, par spectroscopie d'imp\'edance \'electrochimique, SIE, dans diff\'erents milieux physiologiques : solution de Ringer, solution \`a base d'un tampon phosphate (PBS), solution PBS avec de l'albumine, solution PBS avec du s\'erum bovin et une solution PBS avec du s\'erum bovin et un antioxydant (azoture de sodium). De plus, une solution d'eau ultra-pure servira de r\'ef\'erence. La reproductibilit\'e des tests a \'et\'e \'etudi\'ee. Les repr\'esentations temps-fr\'equence des modules ont mis en \'evidence que l'eau d\'esionis\'ee est la solution qui pr\'esente le caract\`ere le plus protecteur pour le Ti-6Al-4V. Cet alliage de titane est le moins prot\'eg\'e dans la solution de PBS contenant de l'albumine. Cette repr\'esentation permet de mettre en \'evidence des signatures graphiques d'adsorption des esp\`eces inorganiques et organiques (diff\'erences entre les moyennes des modules dans les solutions \'etudi\'ees et la moyenne des modules dans la solution de r\'ef\'erence).

Sequence-Informed Geometric Evaluation of RNA 3D Structures

Computational RNA structure pipelines generate many candidate conformations for the same sequence. Reliable evaluation therefore requires more than recognising plausible geometry, it requires determining whether that geometry is compatible with the sequence. We introduce SIRGE, a sequence-informed geometric evaluator that conditions structural representations on nucleotide embeddings from a pretrained RNA language model. Early results show that SIRGE outperforms established evaluators in Kendall--$\tau$ alignment, Top-1 selection, and Top-3 ranking. Controlled comparisons further show that sequence conditioning corrects errors made by an otherwise matched geometric model and improves target-level rank structure. These findings provide initial evidence that pretrained sequence representations supply ranking information that complements geometric reasoning.

PocketVE: Stable and Property-Guided Structure-Based Drug Design with Variance-Exploding Diffusion

Protein-conditioned 3D molecule generation is a central challenge in structure-based drug design, requiring a balance between pocket compatibility, molecular properties, and physical geometry. We propose \textbf{PocketVE}, a protein-pocket-conditioned variance-exploding (VE) diffusion framework that couples stable coordinate denoising with inference-time property guidance. Specifically, PocketVE combines an EDM-style training and sampling setup for 3D denoising, classifier-free guidance for multi-property steering without external property classifiers, and adaptive protein perturbation as a training-time pocket regularizer. Evaluated on CrossDocked2020 under the GenBench3D protocol, PocketVE improves Valid$_{3\text{D}}$ from 58.6 to 80.6 and reduces strain energy from 457.4 to 127.9 relative to its TAGMol architectural baseline, while retaining competitive docking and molecular-property scores under moderate guidance. A guidance-scale study shows that moderate guidance gives a favorable balance between target-related objectives and geometric quality, whereas stronger guidance can degrade geometry and distributional fidelity. Pocket-permutation and PoseCheck diagnostics further support pocket-specific spatial compatibility with reduced steric conflicts. Overall, the results suggest that geometric stability and inference-time property guidance should be considered as coupled design objectives.

Predicting directional flexibility in proteins

Predicting protein dynamics is a long-standing problem in computational structural biology. Often, protein function critically depends on local directed motions, such as hinge movements, catalytic loop rearrangements and domain reorientations, which can be characterized by directional flexibility and correlated structural motions of the protein backbone. While Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations provide an established but often prohibitively expensive approach, recent deep generative models aim to reduce this cost by directly predicting conformational ensembles, emulating MD. However, due to their large size and the need to generate several states until the derived dynamical properties converge, these models remain expensive. In this work, we propose BackFlip-2: a fast SE(3)-equivariant graph neural network trained to directly predict dynamical descriptors, such as directional backbone flexibility and pairwise dynamic correlations, from an equilibrium structure. In a series of experiments, we show that our model matches the accuracy of substantially larger ensemble generation models while being orders of magnitude faster, and demonstrate that the proposed equivariant architecture is especially well-suited for capturing anisotropic motions in proteins. BackFlip-2 model weights, training and inference code are available at https://github.com/graeter-group/backflip.
