Abstract

BACKGROUND: Proteins play a pivotal role in the diverse array of biological processes, making the precise prediction of protein-protein interaction (PPI) sites critical to numerous disciplines including biology, medicine and pharmacy. While deep learning methods have progressively been implemented for the prediction of PPI sites within proteins, the task of enhancing their predictive performance remains an arduous challenge.
