I missed that… thanks for highlighting this difference!

I also wonder how different it would be the comparison with ipSAE min/max from Boltz2 with Boltz1/AF3.

I wish I had some GPUs to test it myself….

And it is worth mentioning that this preprint showed that AF3 ipSAE was found to be the best predictor for experimental success for de novo designed binders:

In 2019, we published a clustering & nomenclature of beta turns in proteins & found 18 unique types. The code was in python2. I've just rewritten it in python3, because it might still be useful to people.

The paper & code:
