Mutational effect transfer learning (METL) is a protein language model framework that unites machine learning and biophysical modeling. Transformer-based neural networks are pretrained on biophysical simulation data to capture fundamental relationships between protein sequence, structure and energetics.

To better understand and design proteins, it is crucial to consider the multifunctional landscapes on which all proteins exist. Proteins are often optimized for single functions during design and engi...

Advances in metagenomics, deep learning, and generative protein design have enabled broad in silico exploration of sequence space, but experimental characterization is still constrained by the cost an...
