CryoACE: An Atom-centric Framework for Accurate and Automated Model Building in Cryo-EM

Minzhang Li, Mingrui Li, Weichen Qin, Qihe Chen, Sixian Shen, Yuan Pei, Jiakai Zhang, Jingyi Yu

Protein automodeling from cryo-EM density maps faces unique challenges in enforcing physicochemical validity and managing conformational heterogeneity. Current solvers are often limited to static predictions or require computationally intensive heuristic searches. We present CryoACE, an end-to-end framework that reconstructs precise atomic graphs for both homogeneous and heterogeneous structures. Our method features two key innovations: an atom-centric reconstruction paradigm, where density features are sampled directly at atomic coordinates and iteratively recycled to refine structures, replacing expensive voxel convolutions for efficient multimodal fusion; and a training-free guidance mechanism that leverages predicted local resolution priors to resolve dynamic ambiguity. Validated on a newly constructed high-quality dataset, CryoACE significantly outperforms existing baselines on static benchmarks and, for the first time, unveils atomic-level dynamic conformations on complex real-world datasets like EMPIAR-10345 without relying on pre-built static structures.

An Automated Framework for Extracting Reachable Attack Chains from Cyber Threat Intelligence Reports

Wenbo Hou, Ning Hu, Xueping Wang, Jiahao Gu, Wenjian Luo

Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) reports richly describe real-world attack processes, but their unstructured narratives cannot be directly used for automated attack-path reasoning. Existing CTI extraction methods focus on indicators, entities, or TTP labels without modeling the ex…

Automating theoretical research is constrained not only by the generation of candidate results, but also by their reliable evaluation. A common approach is to close the research loop with a large language model (LLM) reviewer. However, such reviewers remain empirically unreliable…
