Abstract Synopsis

  • A self-consistent method has been developed to convert amino acid sequences into music by using the natural vibrational frequencies of proteins, allowing for a unique representation of the 20 amino acids as musical tones.
  • This method also incorporates the secondary structure of proteins to adjust the volume and duration of notes, introducing rhythmic elements to the compositions.
  • A recurrent neural network is trained with these musical scores to leverage AI in generating new protein designs that reflect the relationships between amino acid sequences and their resulting structures.
