EvolutionaryScale ESMProtein

Schema for the `ESMProtein` object exposed by the EvolutionaryScale `esm` Python SDK and accepted by the Forge ESM3 API. An ESMProtein is the canonical multi-track representation of a protein covering sequence, structure, secondary structure, SASA, and function annotations.

Properties

Name Type Description
sequence string Amino acid sequence in one-letter codes (A, R, N, D, C, E, Q, G, H, I, L, K, M, F, P, S, T, W, Y, V). An underscore `_` denotes a masked position to be filled by generation.
coordinates array Per-residue atom37 coordinates, shape [L, 37, 3]. Missing atoms are represented as nulls or NaNs depending on serialization.
secondary_structure string DSSP-style per-residue secondary structure string. Common codes: H (alpha-helix), E (beta-strand), C (coil).
sasa array Per-residue solvent accessible surface area (square Angstroms).
function_annotations array Optional list of per-residue function annotations referencing InterPro / GO / Pfam labels.
plddt array Per-residue pLDDT confidence score (0.0–100.0).
ptm number Predicted TM-score (0.0–1.0) for the structure.
