Abstract

BACKGROUND: Prediction of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is fundamental for identifying drug targets and understanding cellular processes. The rapid growth of PPI studies necessitates the development of efficient and accurate tools for automated prediction of PPIs. In recent years, several robust deep learning models have been developed for PPI prediction and have found widespread application in proteomics research. Despite these advancements, current computational tools still face limitations in modeling both the pairwise interactions and the hierarchical relationships between proteins.
