Mechanistic Interpretability of Fine-Tuned Protein Language Models for Nanobody Thermostability Prediction
Taihei Murakami, Yuki Hashidate, Yasuhiro Matsunaga
This paper fine-tunes a protein language model on nanobody thermostability data and uses sparse autoencoders to uncover biophysical rules governing stability, identifying both known and novel stabilizing features.
