Boltz is a deep learning molecular modeler and biomolecular structure prediction system. It uses neural network architectures to simulate the physical folding and docking of biomolecules, specifically predicting the three-dimensional shapes of protein and ligand complexes.
The project functions as a protein-ligand complex predictor and binding affinity predictor, estimating the strength and probability of molecular interactions between ligands and targets. These capabilities are applied to computer aided drug design, including ligand binding affinity prediction and protein-ligand interaction modeling.
The system incorporates coordinate refinement and geometric modeling to determine atomic positions, alongside sequence embedding and folding simulations to predict stable molecular conformations.
