SUMMARY : Ever increasing amounts of protein structure data, combined with advances in machine learning, has led to the rapid proliferation of methods available for protein-sequence design. In order to utilise a design method effectively, it is important to understand the nuances of its performance and how it varies by design target. Here, we present PDBench, a set of proteins and a number of standard tests for assessing the performance of sequence design methods. PDBench aims to maximise the structural diversity of the benchmark, compared with previous benchmarking sets, in order to provide useful biological insight into the behaviour of sequence-design methods, which is essential for evaluating their performance and practical utility. We believe that these tools are useful for guiding the development of novel sequence design algorithms and will enable users to choose a method that best suits their design target.
