Natural language processing fosters new protein designs - Dataconomy

Customized protein design is now possible because of artificial intelligence (AI), which can be used to address both medicinal and environmental issues. A team at the University of Bayreuth has effectively used a computer-based natural language processing model for protein research under Prof. Protein design seeks to create unique proteins that are tailored for particular functions and has the potential to solve a wide range of environmental and biological issues. The creation of language models with the ability to produce text with human-like capacities has been made possible by recent advancements in Transformer-based architectures. This work describes ProtGPT2, a language model that generates de novo protein sequences based on the principles of natural ones and was trained on the protein space.
