Protein LLMs: Transforming Biological Research
The first comprehensive taxonomy of protein language models
This groundbreaking survey systematically organizes the rapidly evolving field of Protein Large Language Models (LLMs), providing a structured framework for understanding their architectures, datasets, and applications.
- Analyzes over 100 research articles to develop a unified taxonomy
- Covers key applications including protein structure prediction and function annotation
- Examines training methodologies and evaluation metrics specific to protein science
- Identifies emerging opportunities for biomedical research and protein engineering
This research matters because it establishes a common framework to accelerate development in protein science, potentially revolutionizing drug discovery, enzyme design, and our understanding of biological systems.
