Researchers detail how ProGen, an LLM trained on 280M proteins, designed proteins with anti-microbial properties that were tested in real life and shown to work
An AI was tasked with creating proteins with anti-microbial properties. Researchers then created a subset of the proteins and found some did the job
“Here we describe ProGen, a language model that can generate protein sequences with a predictable function across large protein families, akin to generating grammatically and semantically correct natural language sentences on diverse topics.” https://www.nature.com/...

ChatGPT for biology? Excited to share our work on LLMs for protein design out today @NatureBiotech https://nature.com/... + Proud to publicly announce @ProfluentBio with a $9M seed round to tackle meaningful challenges in biology with AI. Join us!

AI to create new members within protein families! Great! Also, important to mention that not all families are characterized, and within families, there is a lot of untapped subfunctionalization. Genomics enzymology approaches can help explore unknowns. https://www.nature.com/...
