    2026
    LangTaoSha Preprint Server. CoCoFold2 refines protein structure predictions using limited-particle cryo-EM observations and a frozen Protenix-v1 diffusion prior. It optimizes target-specific latent perturbations and supports component-parallel refinement across multiple GPUs.

    Fine-tuning AlphaFold with limited cryo-EM observations
    Junwen Liao, Dihan Zheng, Hui Zhang, and 3 more authors
    Communications Chemistry, 2026
    CoCoFold adapts AlphaFold using limited cryo-EM particles to refine atomic models when reconstructed maps are weak, anisotropic, or incomplete. It connects predicted structures to experimental particles through differentiable projection and particle-level supervision while preserving the AlphaFold structural prior.

    Amino-acid classification based on terahertz absorption spectroscopy with Gaussian process and maximum likelihood
    Junwen Liao, Bo Wang, Zhiguo Wang, and 1 more author
    Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 2023
    This work proposes a discrete Gaussian process and maximum likelihood model for classifying amino-acid terahertz spectra under scattering noise and varying experimental conditions. The model achieves high accuracy with substantially reduced training time and inference cost, supporting efficient THz-based molecular sensing.
