Prediction of antioxidant proteins using hybrid feature representation method and random forest.

Genomics
Natural antioxidant proteins are mainly found in plants and animals, which interact to eliminate excessive free radicals and protect cells and DNA from damage, prevent and treat some diseases. Therefore, accurate identification of antioxidant protein...

cnnAlpha: Protein disordered regions prediction by reduced amino acid alphabets and convolutional neural networks.

Proteins
Intrinsically disordered regions (IDR) play an important role in key biological processes and are closely related to human diseases. IDRs have great potential to serve as targets for drug discovery, most notably in disordered binding regions. Accurat...

Machine-learning approach expands the repertoire of anti-CRISPR protein families.

Nature communications
The CRISPR-Cas are adaptive bacterial and archaeal immunity systems that have been harnessed for the development of powerful genome editing and engineering tools. In the incessant host-parasite arms race, viruses evolved multiple anti-defense mechani...

Protein-Protein Interactions Efficiently Modeled by Residue Cluster Classes.

International journal of molecular sciences
Predicting protein-protein interactions (PPI) represents an important challenge in structural bioinformatics. Current computational methods display different degrees of accuracy when predicting these interactions. Different factors were proposed to h...

HAPPENN is a novel tool for hemolytic activity prediction for therapeutic peptides which employs neural networks.

Scientific reports
The growing prevalence of resistance to antibiotics motivates the search for new antibacterial agents. Antimicrobial peptides are a diverse class of well-studied membrane-active peptides which function as part of the innate host defence system, and f...

A Generative Neural Network for Maximizing Fitness and Diversity of Synthetic DNA and Protein Sequences.

Cell systems
Engineering gene and protein sequences with defined functional properties is a major goal of synthetic biology. Deep neural network models, together with gradient ascent-style optimization, show promise for sequence design. The generated sequences ca...

Meta-iPVP: a sequence-based meta-predictor for improving the prediction of phage virion proteins using effective feature representation.

Journal of computer-aided molecular design
Phage virion protein (PVP) perforate the host cell membrane and eventually culminates in cell rupture thereby releasing replicated phages. The accurate identification of PVP is thus a crucial step towards improving our understanding of the biological...

QUATgo: Protein quaternary structural attributes predicted by two-stage machine learning approaches with heterogeneous feature encoding.

PloS one
Many proteins exist in natures as oligomers with various quaternary structural attributes rather than as single chains. Predicting these attributes is an essential task in computational biology for the advancement of proteomics. However, the existing...

ASAP-SML: An antibody sequence analysis pipeline using statistical testing and machine learning.

PLoS computational biology
Antibodies are capable of potently and specifically binding individual antigens and, in some cases, disrupting their functions. The key challenge in generating antibody-based inhibitors is the lack of fundamental information relating sequences of ant...
