Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for determining a predicted structure of a protein that is specified by an amino acid sequence. In one aspect, a method comprises: obtaining an initial embedding and initial values of structure parameters for each amino acid in the amino acid sequence, wherein the structure parameters for each amino acid comprise location parameters that specify a predicted three-dimensional spatial location of the amino acid in the structure of the protein; and processing a network input comprising the initial embedding and the initial values of the structure parameters for each amino acid in the amino acid sequence using a folding neural network to generate a network output comprising final values of the structure parameters for each amino acid in the amino acid sequence.
