Structure-informed protein language models are robust predictors for variant effects.

Abstract excerpt

Emerging variant effect predictors, protein language models (pLMs) learn evolutionary distribution of functional sequences to capture fitness landscape. Considering that variant effects are manifested through biological contexts beyond sequence (such as structure), we first assess how much structure context is learned in sequence-only pLMs and affecting variant effect prediction. And we establish a need to inject...
