QuPepFold is a Python package for hybrid quantum-classical protein folding simulations, designed to explore intrinsically disordered regions for therapeutic targeting. Tests on peptides up to ten amino acids long show the CVaR-optimized VQE reached the ground state roughly 30 percent faster than a standard VQE.
