Researchers Composed New Protein Based on Sonification Using Deep Learning

Protein is of utmost importance in the human body. It is considered as the building blocks of life. Scientists, for a long, have been studying its properties and functionalities in order to improve proteins and design completely new proteins that perform new functions and processes. Recently, an innovation came into being when researchers in the United States and Taiwan explored how to create new proteins by using machine learning to translate protein structures into musical scores, presenting an unusual way to translate physics concepts across disparate domains, noted APL Bioengineering. A deep learning model has been employed to design de novo proteins, based on the interplay of elementary building blocks via hierarchical patterns.
