Who contributes to whom: following the evidence behind protein language-model predictions of backbone variability

Ngoc Kim Ngan Tran, Thomas Rife, Mandy Korpusik, Zara Alavi

ESMfluc predicts local backbone variability in proteins using attention-based evidence decomposition, showing how sequence positions contribute to predictions of single or multi-PB states.
