Prediction of HIV-1 protease cleavage site using a combination of sequence, structural, and physicochemical features.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) aspartic protease is an important enzyme owing to its imperative part in viral development and a causative agent of deadliest disease known as acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Dev...

Mapping membrane activity in undiscovered peptide sequence space using machine learning.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
There are some ∼1,100 known antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which permeabilize microbial membranes but have diverse sequences. Here, we develop a support vector machine (SVM)-based classifier to investigate ⍺-helical AMPs and the interrelated nature o...

Predicting Protein-DNA Binding Residues by Weightedly Combining Sequence-Based Features and Boosting Multiple SVMs.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Protein-DNA interactions are ubiquitous in a wide variety of biological processes. Correctly locating DNA-binding residues solely from protein sequences is an important but challenging task for protein function annotations and drug discovery, especia...

SVM-Prot 2016: A Web-Server for Machine Learning Prediction of Protein Functional Families from Sequence Irrespective of Similarity.

PloS one
Knowledge of protein function is important for biological, medical and therapeutic studies, but many proteins are still unknown in function. There is a need for more improved functional prediction methods. Our SVM-Prot web-server employed a machine l...

Machine Learning of Protein Interactions in Fungal Secretory Pathways.

PloS one
In this paper we apply machine learning methods for predicting protein interactions in fungal secretion pathways. We assume an inter-species transfer setting, where training data is obtained from a single species and the objective is to predict prote...

gDNA-Prot: Predict DNA-binding proteins by employing support vector machine and a novel numerical characterization of protein sequence.

Journal of theoretical biology
DNA-binding proteins are the functional proteins in cells, which play an important role in various essential biological activities. An effective and fast computational method gDNA-Prot is proposed to predict DNA-binding proteins in this paper, which ...

GGIP: Structure and sequence-based GPCR-GPCR interaction pair predictor.

Proteins
G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are important pharmaceutical targets. More than 30% of currently marketed pharmaceutical medicines target GPCRs. Numerous studies have reported that GPCRs function not only as monomers but also as homo- or hetero-d...

A Web Server and Mobile App for Computing Hemolytic Potency of Peptides.

Scientific reports
Numerous therapeutic peptides do not enter the clinical trials just because of their high hemolytic activity. Recently, we developed a database, Hemolytik, for maintaining experimentally validated hemolytic and non-hemolytic peptides. The present stu...

UniProt-DAAC: domain architecture alignment and classification, a new method for automatic functional annotation in UniProtKB.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Similarity-based methods have been widely used in order to infer the properties of genes and gene products containing little or no experimental annotation. New approaches that overcome the limitations of methods that rely solely upon sequ...

Predicting lysine phosphoglycerylation with fuzzy SVM by incorporating k-spaced amino acid pairs into Chou׳s general PseAAC.

Journal of theoretical biology
As a new type of post-translational modification, lysine phosphoglycerylation plays a key role in regulating glycolytic process and metabolism in cells. Due to the traditional experimental methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is importa...
