Design of proteins by parallel tempering in the sequence space.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Computational design of new proteins is often performed by optimizing the amino acid sequence. This sequence is characterized by an energy (lower energy means better propensity to form the desired 3D structure) that is sampled and minimized. Here, we use the parallel tempering algorithm to accelerate this task. ESMfold was used to predict the structures of the sampled proteins and calculate energy. Starting from random amino acid sequences, each sequence was sampled using the Monte Carlo method at one of a series of temperatures, and these replicas were being exchanged by the parallel tempering method. A series of 100 or 200 residue proteins was designed to maximize confidence in structure prediction and globularity and minimize surface hydrophobic residues. We show that parallel tempering is a viable alternative to Monte Carlo sampling without replica exchanges and simulated annealing or related energy-based protein design methods, especially in the situation where a continuous flow of designed sequences is desired.
