Research Abstract

The tertiary structures of proteins play a critical role in determining their functions, interactions, and bonding in molecular chemistry. Proteins are known to demonstrate natural dynamism under various physiological conditions, which enables them to adjust their tertiary structures and effectively interact with the surrounding molecules. The present study utilized the remarkable progress made in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to generate tertiary structures that accurately mimic the inherent attributes of actual proteins, which includes the backbone conformation as well as the local and distal characteristics of proteins. The current study has introduced a robust model, ROD-WGAN hybrid, that is able to generate large-scale tertiary protein structures that greatly mimic those found in nature. We have made several noteworthy contributions in pursuit of this objective by integrating the ROD-WGAN model with
