Folding Prion Protein with AI
This quickly inspired Folding @ home, and a pop science article introduced me to the concept of protein folding. I recently idly made a list of domains which would be interesting to train or finetune a genomic language model (gLM) for: long non-coding RNA, transposable elements, epigenetics, or prions. I'd read a little on prions four years ago from the book Madness and Memory.
