About this paper

Shuo Zhang, Jian K. Liu

SeqProFT adapts pretrained protein language models for sequence-based property prediction using low-rank updates and optional model-derived contact maps. It compares ESM-2-150M with LoRA and ESM-2-650M without LoRA on enzyme classification, reporting scores of 0.854 and 0.838. Contact-enhanced prediction leads on Fold-superfamily but not across tasks. For ESM-2-150M, LoRA trains 9.49% of parameters but takes 2.7 times as long.
