Abstract
MOTIVATION: Proteins found in nature represent only a fraction of the vast space of possible proteins. Protein design presents an opportunity to explore and expand this protein landscape. Within protein design, protein sequence design plays a crucial role, and numerous successful methods have been developed. Notably, deep learning-based protein sequence design methods have experienced significant advancements in recent years. However, a comprehensive and systematic comparison and evaluation of these methods have been lacking, with indicators provided by different methods often inconsistent or lacking effectiveness.
