Enhancing the Prediction of Transmembrane β-Barrel Segments with Chain Learning and Feature Sparse Representation.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Transmembrane β-barrels (TMBs) are one important class of membrane proteins that play crucial functions in the cell. Membrane proteins are difficult wet-lab targets of structural biology, which call for accurate computational prediction approaches. H...

UbiSite: incorporating two-layered machine learning method with substrate motifs to predict ubiquitin-conjugation site on lysines.

BMC systems biology
BACKGROUND: The conjugation of ubiquitin to a substrate protein (protein ubiquitylation), which involves a sequential process--E1 activation, E2 conjugation and E3 ligation, is crucial to the regulation of protein function and activity in eukaryotes....

Identification of Peptide Inhibitors of Enveloped Viruses Using Support Vector Machine.

PloS one
The peptides derived from envelope proteins have been shown to inhibit the protein-protein interactions in the virus membrane fusion process and thus have a great potential to be developed into effective antiviral therapies. There are three types of ...

A Sequence-Based Dynamic Ensemble Learning System for Protein Ligand-Binding Site Prediction.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Proteins have the fundamental ability to selectively bind to other molecules and perform specific functions through such interactions, such as protein-ligand binding. Accurate prediction of protein residues that physically bind to ligands...

Prediction the Substrate Specificities of Membrane Transport Proteins Based on Support Vector Machine and Hybrid Features.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics
Membrane transport proteins and their substrate specificities play crucial roles in a variety of cellular functions. Identifying the substrate specificities of membrane transport proteins is closely related to the protein-target interaction predictio...

Unsupervised learning assisted robust prediction of bioluminescent proteins.

Computers in biology and medicine
Bioluminescence plays an important role in nature, for example, it is used for intracellular chemical signalling in bacteria. It is also used as a useful reagent for various analytical research methods ranging from cellular imaging to gene expression...

Computational probing protein-protein interactions targeting small molecules.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: With the booming of interactome studies, a lot of interactions can be measured in a high throughput way and large scale datasets are available. It is becoming apparent that many different types of interactions can be potential drug target...

MDD-SOH: exploiting maximal dependence decomposition to identify S-sulfenylation sites with substrate motifs.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
UNLABELLED: S-sulfenylation (S-sulphenylation, or sulfenic acid), the covalent attachment of S-hydroxyl (-SOH) to cysteine thiol, plays a significant role in redox regulation of protein functions. Although sulfenic acid is transient and labile, most ...

DNA-binding protein prediction using plant specific support vector machines: validation and application of a new genome annotation tool.

Nucleic acids research
There are currently 151 plants with draft genomes available but levels of functional annotation for putative protein products are low. Therefore, accurate computational predictions are essential to annotate genomes in the first instance, and to provi...

Protein contact prediction by integrating joint evolutionary coupling analysis and supervised learning.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Protein contact prediction is important for protein structure and functional study. Both evolutionary coupling (EC) analysis and supervised machine learning methods have been developed, making use of different information sources. However...
