• GPT Protein Models Speak Fluent Biology

    1 month ago - By IEEE Spectrum

    Artificial intelligence has already shaved years off research into protein engineering. Now, for the first time, scientists have synthesized proteins predicted by an AI model in the lab, and found them to work just as well as their natural counterparts. The research used a deep learning language model for protein engineering called ProGen , which was developed by the company Salesforce AI Research in 2020. ProGen was trained, on 280 million raw protein sequences from publicly available databases of sequenced natural proteins, to generate artificial protein sequences from scratch. To...
