The experiment demonstrates that natural language processing, though developed to read and write language text, can learn at least some of the underlying principles of biology. Salesforce Research developed the Al program, called ProGen, which uses next-token prediction to assemble amino acid sequences into artificial proteins. Scientists said the new technology could become more powerful than directed evolution, a Nobel-prize-winning protein design technology, and will energize the 50-year-old field of protein engineering by speeding the development of new proteins that can be used for almost anything from therapeutics to degrading plastic. A user enters a control tag, which can be a protein type such as lysozome, into the ProGen Al model. The ProGen Al model uses the tag to assemble amino acid sequences into artificial proteins.
