Relevance Score
Researchers present SeekRBP, a sequence–structure framework submitted to arXiv on 5 March 2026 that detects receptor-binding proteins (RBPs) using a multi-armed bandit negative-sampling strategy and multimodal protein language plus structural embeddings. Benchmarks show SeekRBP outperforms static sampling approaches, and a Vibrio phage case study demonstrates improved host prediction, suggesting utility for large-scale annotation and synthetic biology applications.
