Natural evolution has meticulously shaped proteins over more than three billion years. Modern-day research is closely studying these proteins to understand their structures and functions. Large language models are increasingly being employed to interpret the complexities of these protein structures. Such models demonstrate a solid capacity, even without specific training on biological functions, to naturally…

Scientists from Evolutionary Scale PBC, Arc Institute, and the University of California have developed an advanced generative language model for proteins known as ESM3. The protein language model is a sophisticated tool designed to understand and forecast proteins' sequence, structure, and function. It applies the masked language modeling approach to predict masked portions of protein…

The use of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, has significantly increased in academic writing, resulting in observable shifts in writing style and vocabulary, particularly in biomedical research. Concerns have risen around the authenticity and originality of scientific content and its implications for research integrity and the evaluation of academic contributions. Traditional methods for detecting…
