If I understand correctly, the product is the database and its Tensorflow API?

I am wondering how this compares to the TALOS-N [1] server from Ad Bax (NIH) with 9000+ proteins in its DB? This, too, uses machine learning to 'fit' a predictor for secondary structure (dihedral angles) for backbone and side chain torsions based on chemical shifts.

And yes, the product right now is Keras and Tensorflow database integration + the interactive database interface. The tools around are currently under stringent testing.

This is an excellent question. When we have our network up and running we will compare against Ad's methodology. Ad is known for top-notch solutions.
