FAQPage Schema
How do I generate and analyze novel protein sequences using ESM models?

You can generate and analyze novel protein sequences by loading pretrained ESM3 or ESM C models to perform multimodal generation, inverse folding, and function conditioning for research and development.

Can I compute protein embeddings for large datasets via the Forge API?

Yes, you can compute protein embeddings for large datasets by accessing ESM3 and ESM C models via the Forge API, enabling scalable inference and experiments without local hardware constraints.

Do I need GPU acceleration for structure prediction with protein language models?

GPU acceleration is highly recommended for optimal performance when running structure prediction and embedding extraction with ESM models, especially when handling large datasets or executing complex multimodal analyses locally.

What is the best way to perform structure-guided protein design locally?

The best way to perform structure-guided protein design locally is by using the esm package with ESM3 models to execute multimodal protein generation, inverse folding, and sequence analysis directly on your hardware.

Does ESM3 support function conditioning for protein design?

Yes, ESM3 supports function conditioning, allowing researchers to guide the multimodal protein generation process by specifying desired functional constraints alongside sequence and structure inputs.

What are the limitations of running large ESM models without Forge access?

Without Forge access, running large ESM models locally requires significant GPU resources to handle the computational load, which may limit the scale of embedding extraction, structure prediction, and protein design experiments.
