protenc 0.1.6

Extract protein embeddings from protein language models.

ProtEnc: generate protein embeddings the easy way

ProtEnc aims to simplify extraction of protein embeddings from various pre-trained models by providing simple APIs and bulk generation scripts for the ever-growing landscape of protein language models (pLMs). Currently, supported models are:

• ProtTrans family
• ESM
• AlphaFold (coming soon™)
• OmegaPLM (coming soon™)

Usage

Installation

pip install protenc

Python API

import protenc

# List available models
print(protenc.list_models())

# Load encoder model
encoder = protenc.get_encoder('esm2_t30_150M_UR50D', device='cuda')

proteins = [
  'MKTVRQERLKSIVRILERSKEPVSGAQLAEELSVSRQVIVQDIAYLRSLGYNIVATPRGYVLAGG',
  'KALTARQQEVFDLIRDHISQTGMPPTRAEIAQRLGFRSPNAAEEHLKALARKGVIEIVSGASRGIRLLQEE'
]

for embed in encoder(proteins, return_format='numpy'):
  # Embeddings have shape [L, D] where L is the sequence length and D the  embedding dimensionality.
  print(embed.shape)
  
  # Derive a single per-protein embedding vector by averaging along the sequence dimension
  embed.mean(0)

Command-line interface

After installation, use the protenc shell command for bulk generation and export of protein embeddings.

protenc sequences.fasta embeddings.lmdb --model_name=<name-of-model>

By default, input and output formats are inferred from the file extensions.

Run

protenc --help

for a detailed usage description.

Example

Generate protein embeddings using the ESM2 650M model for sequences provided in a FASTA file and write embeddings to an LMDB:

protenc proteins.fasta embeddings.lmdb --model_name=esm2_t33_650M_UR50D

The generated embeddings will be stored in a lmdb key-value store and can be easily accessed using the read_from_lmdb utility function:

from protenc.utils import read_from_lmdb

for label, embed in read_from_lmdb('embeddings.lmdb'):
    print(label, embed)

Features

Input formats:

• CSV
• JSON

General:

• Multi-GPU inference with (--data_parallel)
• FP16 inference (--amp)

Development
