Protein music of enhanced musicality by music style guided exploration of diverse amino acid properties

Abstract

Inspired by the traceable analogies between protein sequences and music notes, protein music has been composed from amino acid sequences for popularizing science and sourcing melodies. Despite the continuous development of protein-to-music algorithms, the musicality of protein music lags far behind human music. Musicality may be enhanced by fine-tuned protein-to-music mapping to the features of a specific music style. We analyzed the features of a music style (Fantasy-Impromptu style), and used the quantized musical features to guide broad exploration of diverse amino acid properties (104 properties, sequence patterns and variations) for developing a novel protein-to-music algorithm of enhanced musicality. This algorithm was applied to 18 proteins of various biological functions. The derived music pieces consistently exhibited enhanced musicality with respect to existing protein music. Music style guided exploration of diverse amino acid properties enable protein music composition of enhanced musicality, which may be further developed and applied to a wider variety of music styles.

RETRACTED: Could Acupuncture Combing with Lambdoma Matrix Harmonic Music Treat Insomnia?

“…The PM had the applications as a type of music therapy e.g. decreasing the speed of tumour formation for breast cancer cells (Orhan and Gulbahar, 2016; Tay et al, 2021). Thereby, this interaction, which served as a feedback, could affect the DNA and RNA systems and others e.g.…”

Molecular sonification for molecule to music information transfer

“…18 A variety of information sources have been sonied, such as visual art, 19 the architecture of spider webs, 20 infrared spectra of chemicals, 21 amino acid sequences, 22 air pollution, 23 re, 24 and many more. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] The SELFIES representation provided a viable input for molecular sonication, both for the encoding of molecules into a melody and the construction of new molecules via performance on a musical instrument such as the piano. We developed a workow for transferring molecules into music, and vice versa, which we call Sonic Architecture for Molecule Production and Live-Input Encoding Soware, or SAMPLES (Fig.…”

Molecular Music: A Modern Accompaniment to NMR Pedagogy

“…Generating music using methodologies tied to chemistry concepts has been well documented in pedagogy: the photoacoustic effect, electrochemistry, and IR spectroscopy have all been used to produce music. Furthermore, outside of instruction, musical approaches have even been used to identify connections between music and biological compounds such as proteins . As such, examples of collaboration between science and music are relevant and serve as inspiration for future projects.…”
