code: https://github.com/mjendrusch/salad
We used a similar random neighbour scheme in salad (www.nature.com/articles/s42...), with 16 neighbours by residue index, 16 neighbours by distance and another 16 using the 1/d^3 scheme from Chroma, which worked reasonably well for protein backbone generation.

A small and fast diffusion model is presented, which is able to efficiently generate long protein backbones.

Also, shoutout to @blender.org and @bradyajohnston.bsky.social for making it so easy to turn protein structures into nice images!

While I was working on salad as part of my PhD at Korbel group at EMBL, it was very much a passion project. So it makes me very happy to see @embl.org feature this paper!
Thanks again to Jan and the team supporting me on my more non-standard projects!
