## Abstract

A system and method for generating protein amino acid sequences having a user-desired property are provided. Using a noise-based diffusion model, the system and method can generate amino acid sequences of proteins that have excellent disease treatment effects and are safe for use as therapeutic agents in a human body. The system can function by obtaining reference protein sequence information, generating noise-added protein sequence information, iteratively generating noise-removed protein sequence information and partially noise-added protein sequence information, and generating noise-removed output protein sequence information. Noise may be added to protein sequence information using a Gaussian or other known noise model. Noise may be removed from protein sequence information using an artificial neural network model trained by a method of minimizing a loss function. By incorporating sequence guidance and structure guidance derived from known proteins, users can generate improved candidate protein drugs for testing.
