Learning inverse folding from millions of predicted structures

ICML 2022oral

We consider the problem of predicting a protein sequence from its backbone atom coordinates. Machine learning approaches to this problem to date have been limited by the number of available experimentally determined protein structures. We augment training data by nearly three orders of magnitude by…

Language models enable zero-shot prediction of the effects of mutations on protein function

NeurIPS 2021poster

Modeling the effect of sequence variation on function is a fundamental problem for understanding and designing proteins. Since evolution encodes information about function into patterns in protein sequences, unsupervised models of variant effects can be learned from sequence data. The approach to da…
