The shape of a protein provides very strong clues as to how the protein machinery can be used, but doesn't completely solve this question. "So we asked ourselves: can we predict what function a protein performs?" said Max Bileschi, staff software engineer, Google Research, Brain Team.In a Nature Biotechnology article, Google described how neural networks can reliably reveal the function of the `dark matter' of the protein universe, outperforming state-of-the-art methods.
