Abstract
BioDynaGen (Biological Dynamics and Generation) is a novel multi-modal framework unifying protein sequences, dynamic binding site conformations, small molecule ligand SMILES, and natural language text into a single discrete token representation. Built upon a general large language model, BioDynaGen employs continuous pre-training and instruction fine-tuning via next-token prediction to address critical gaps in modeling protein dynamics and ligand interactions. This framework enables a diverse range of tasks, including small molecule-protein binding prediction, dynamic pocket design, and ligand-assisted functional generation. By comprehensively integrating these modalities, BioDynaGen offers an advanced framework for understanding and designing complex biological molecular interactions.
