  "summary": "Foundation models for proteins have shown great potential in addressing a wide range of challenges in computational molecular biology. State-of-the-art models are trained on large and diverse corpora of protein sequences, enabled by self-supervised training. The models are then used in transfer learning and the embeddings they calculate are used in supervised downstream tasks. We propose a novel…",
