Unsupervised Language Model

Scientists from the University of Bayreuth, Germany, introduced ProtGPT2, a language model for protein design trained on the protein space that generates de novo protein sequences following the principles of natural ones. ProtGPT2-sequences predicted using AlphaFold result in well-folded, non-idealized structures. ProtGPT2 generates sequences in a fraction of seconds and has open source access. Novel…
