Abstract

MOTIVATION: S-sulfhydration, a crucial post-translational protein modification, is pivotal in cellular recognition, signaling processes, and the development and progression of cardiovascular and neurological disorders, so identifying S-sulfhydration sites is crucial for studies in cell biology. Deep learning shows high efficiency and accuracy in identifying protein sites compared to traditional methods that often lack sensitivity and specificity in accurately locating nonsulfhydration sites. Therefore, we employ deep learning methods to tackle the challenge of pinpointing S-sulfhydration sites.
