Researchers have developed two novel latent protein languages, Protein Latent Language (PLL) and Structure Latent Language (SLL), designed to improve autoregressive transformer models for protein sequence and structure generation. PLL maps sequences to a contextual alphabet derived from an ESM-2 encoder, while SLL adapts a VQ-VAE model to represent backbone geometry. When trained as autoregressive models (PLLM and SLLM), these languages demonstrated enhanced compute-scaling exponents and significantly reduced low-complexity generations compared to traditional amino acid tokenization. SLL also showed a notable reduction in validation perplexity for sequence-to-structure prediction and produced diverse, novel backbone structures. AI
IMPACT These latent languages could accelerate protein design and discovery by improving the efficiency and quality of generative models.
