KAUST Researchers Develop AI Tool to Better Predict Functions of Unknown Proteins
- New AI tool from KAUST researchers can predict functions of unknown proteins to help unravel inner workings of cells
- Tool outperforms existing methods and can analyze proteins with no matches in current datasets
- Uses large language models and logical entailment to draw conclusions about likely protein functions
- Accurately predicted functions of poorly understood proteins in competition with 1,600 other algorithms
- Has applications in drug discovery, pathway analysis, disease links, protein engineering, and screening
