  • Publication number: 20250173602
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for generating protein sequences using machine learning models. A machine learning model is configured by implanting a structural adapter into a sequence decoder. The machine learning model is configured to generate a protein sequence from a specified structure. The machine learning model is endowed with protein structural awareness by the structural adapter. The machine learning model is equipped with protein sequential evolutionary knowledge by the sequence decoder. The machine learning model comprises the structural adapter, the sequence decoder, and a structure encoder. An initial sequence is generated based on the specified structure by the structure encoder. The protein sequence is optimized through an iterative process. The iterative process comprises progressively refining the protein sequence by iterative decoding. The structural adapter non-linearly imposes representations of the specified structure on a sequence predicted in the iterative process.

  • Publication number: 20250112021
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cryo-electron microscopy image processing method and apparatus, a terminal, and a storage medium. The cryo-electron microscopy image processing method includes: obtaining a cryo-electron microscopy image; encoding the cryo-electron microscopy image into latent variables through an encoder; converting the latent variables into an atomic model structure through a decoder; correcting the atomic model structure using a loss function to obtain a corrected atomic model structure, where the loss function includes a bond length constraint loss function, a clash constraint loss function, and a spring constraint loss function; and converting, through a projector module, the corrected atomic model structure into a density map represented by Gaussian spheres, and projecting the density map to obtain a projection image.
