"""
Iterative Refinement via Langevin Noise-Refine Cycles.
Inspired by ProDifEvo (Uehara et al., ICML 2025): repeatedly perturb and
refine structures through Q_theta gradient ascent. Each cycle adds noise
for diversity, then refines with Langevin dynamics toward higher selectivity.
This allows designs to escape local optima and explore better selectivity
regions that single-shot generation cannot reach.
Pipeline:
1. Start from existing PXDesign outputs (seed structures)
2. Align binder to reference receptor frames
3. Run Langevin refinement with Q_theta gradient
4. Score the refined output
5. Repeat for K iterations, keeping best designs
Usage:

--input_dir results/pxdesign_guided/converted_pdbs \
--qtheta_checkpoint results/checkpoints_cam_v3/best_phase2.pt \

--ref_apo data/pdbs/cam_apo/1CFD.pdb \
