New AI model designs proteins to deliver gene therapy

New AI model designs proteins to deliver gene therapy

ProteinVAE architecture. Encoder: pre-trained language model (for example, ProtBert) converts the input one-hot-encoded sequences to amino-acid-level representation H. Encoder CNN extracts crude sequence-level representation q, which is used as the fixed query vector in the bottleneck attention mechanism to produce the refined global representation z. Dimensionality of z is adjusted with a linear layer. Reparameterization …
