ProteinMPNN (MPS Fork)

Unofficial fork of dauparas/ProteinMPNN with Apple Silicon (MPS) support, packaged for pip install. Original work © Justas Dauparas et al., Baker Lab. Released under MIT.

Read ProteinMPNN paper.

Install

# From PyPI
pip install proteinmpnn-mps

# Latest dev (from this fork)
pip install git+https://github.com/tmsincomb/ProteinMPNN.git

# With helper-script extras (Biopython, for cif_to_pdb.py)
pip install "proteinmpnn-mps[helpers]"

# With training extras (pandas, psutil)
pip install "proteinmpnn-mps[training]"

After install, the runner is available as a console command:

proteinmpnn --pdb_path input.pdb --out_folder ./out --num_seq_per_target 2

It also still works as a script: python protein_mpnn_run.py ....

Apple Silicon (MPS)

This fork auto-selects the MPS backend on Apple Silicon Macs (CUDA > MPS > CPU). Requires PyTorch ≥ 1.12 and macOS ≥ 12.3. See docs/mps/ProteinMPNN_MPS_Notes.md for performance notes, environment variables, and known gotchas.

Releasing a new version (maintainer)

Releases are published to PyPI via GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/publish.yml) using PyPI Trusted Publishing (OIDC) — no API tokens stored in the repo.

One-time setup:

1. Register proteinmpnn-mps on PyPI (upload first build manually, or pre-register).
2. On PyPI → project → Settings → Publishing → Add a new pending publisher:
   • Owner: tmsincomb
   • Repository: ProteinMPNN
   • Workflow: publish.yml
   • Environment: pypi
3. In GitHub repo Settings → Environments → New environment named pypi.

Per-release:

# bump version in pyproject.toml, commit, then:
git tag v1.0.1.mps1
git push origin v1.0.1.mps1

Tag push triggers the workflow → builds sdist+wheel → publishes to PyPI.

Manual conda install (alternative)

To run ProteinMPNN clone this github repo and install Python>=3.0, PyTorch, Numpy.

Full protein backbone models: vanilla_model_weights/v_48_002.pt, v_48_010.pt, v_48_020.pt, v_48_030.pt, soluble_model_weights/v_48_010.pt, v_48_020.pt.

CA only models: ca_model_weights/v_48_002.pt, v_48_010.pt, v_48_020.pt. Enable flag --ca_only to use these models.

Helper scripts: helper_scripts - helper functions to parse PDBs, assign which chains to design, which residues to fix, adding AA bias, tying residues etc.

Code organization:

• protein_mpnn_run.py - the main script to initialialize and run the model.
• protein_mpnn_utils.py - utility functions for the main script.
• examples/ - simple code examples.
• inputs/ - input PDB files for examples
• outputs/ - outputs from examples
• colab_notebooks/ - Google Colab examples
• training/ - code and data to retrain the model

For example to make a conda environment to run ProteinMPNN:

• conda create --name mlfold - this creates conda environment called mlfold
• source activate mlfold - this activate environment
• conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.3 -c pytorch - install pytorch following steps from https://pytorch.org/

These are provided examples/:

• submit_example_1.sh - simple monomer example
• submit_example_2.sh - simple multi-chain example
• submit_example_3.sh - directly from the .pdb path
• submit_example_3_score_only.sh - return score only (model's uncertainty)
• submit_example_3_score_only_from_fasta.sh - return score only (model's uncertainty) loading sequence from fasta files
• submit_example_4.sh - fix some residue positions
• submit_example_4_non_fixed.sh - specify which positions to design
• submit_example_5.sh - tie some positions together (symmetry)
• submit_example_6.sh - homooligomer example
• submit_example_7.sh - return sequence unconditional probabilities (PSSM like)
• submit_example_8.sh - add amino acid bias
• submit_example_pssm.sh - use PSSM bias when designing sequences
