ESM-2 for Interacting Proteins

This model was finetuned on concatenated pairs of interacting proteins in much the same way as PepMLM. It is meant to generate interaction partners for proteins using the masked language modeling capabilities of ESM-2. The model is not well tested, so use with caution. This is just a preliminary experiment.

Using the Model

To use the model, try running:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, EsmForMaskedLM  
import torch
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from torch.distributions import Categorical

def compute_pseudo_perplexity(model, tokenizer, protein_seq, binder_seq):
    sequence = protein_seq + binder_seq
    tensor_input = tokenizer.encode(sequence, return_tensors='pt').to(model.device)

    # Create a mask for the binder sequence
    binder_mask = torch.zeros(tensor_input.shape).to(model.device)
    binder_mask[0, -len(binder_seq)-1:-1] = 1

    # Mask the binder sequence in the input and create labels
    masked_input = tensor_input.clone().masked_fill_(binder_mask.bool(), tokenizer.mask_token_id)
    labels = tensor_input.clone().masked_fill_(~binder_mask.bool(), -100)

    with torch.no_grad():
        loss = model(masked_input, labels=labels).loss
    return np.exp(loss.item())

        # Apply top-k sampling
        top_k_logits, top_k_indices = logits_at_masks.topk(top_k, dim=-1)
        probabilities = torch.nn.functional.softmax(top_k_logits, dim=-1)
        predicted_indices = Categorical(probabilities).sample()
        predicted_token_ids = top_k_indices.gather(-1, predicted_indices.unsqueeze(-1)).squeeze(-1)

        ppl_value = compute_pseudo_perplexity(model, tokenizer, protein_seq, generated_binder)

        # Add the generated binder and its PPL to the results list
        binders_with_ppl.append([generated_binder, ppl_value])

    return binders_with_ppl
