This Project Grant award of $174,984 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) supports the development of a new artificial intelligence (AI)-based computational framework to improve the accuracy of modeling protein structures from medium-resolution cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) data.

The research aims to address challenges in accurately determining protein secondary structures by integrating static quality information with adaptive learning strategies to capture structural features, even in medium-quality cryo-EM images. The project will employ curriculum learning techniques to enhance the modeling of protein secondary structures. The research outputs will include open-source tools to facilitate widespread adoption of the new methods, which are expected to enable improved understanding of protein functions and aid drug design algorithms.
