Abstract

MOTIVATION: In recent years, there has been a breakthrough in protein structure prediction, and the AlphaFold2 model of the DeepMind team has improved the accuracy of protein structure prediction to the atomic level. Currently, deep learning-based protein function prediction models usually extract features from protein sequences and combine them with protein-protein interaction networks to achieve good results. However, for newly sequenced proteins that are not in the protein-protein interaction network, such models cannot make effective predictions. To address this, this article proposes the Struct2GO model, which combines protein structure and sequence data to enhance the precision of protein function prediction and the generality of the model.
