Discovery of a phenazine–thiol conjugase from sparse data using genome-informed machine learning

It is shown that integrating genome-informed data augmentation with contrastive learning in protein language space enables identification of phenazine-interacting proteins starting from only 14 known phenazine modifying sequences, and coupling comparative genomics with protein machine learning can convert “small data” typically outside the scope of machine learning into actionable predictive power, thereby facilitating enzyme discovery.
