Polyfold Lab draws a line between setup and simulation
A Chinese-language research workspace for preparing all-atom or coarse-grained polypeptide simulation inputs, then downloading them for local GROMACS runs.

- The page says its agent’s LLM, descriptors, and design adapters currently use mock implementations; its outputs are demonstrations, not research conclusions.
Field notes
The workflow distinguishes browser-side preparation from molecular-dynamics execution: the server is described as generating and solvating the system, while downloaded files run on a machine with GROMACS. The ZIP is listed as including topology, force-field parameters, coordinates, MDP protocols, a shell runner, and instructions, with relative paths and SHA-256 checks. A separate research-agent panel warns that its LLM, descriptors, and design adapters are mock implementations.
