Abstract:
Protein contact map is a simplified representation of a protein's spatial structure. The Committee Machine is a machine learning method that allots the learning task to a number of learners and divides the input space into subspaces. Learners' responses to an input are combined to produce the system's final response, which is more accurate than any single individual's response. In this study, we propose a novel method called CMP_model, for contact map prediction based on the committee machine. The results of the proposed model in comparison with two other models, show considerable gain (an accuracy improvement from 0.05 to 0.15).

Conserved Binding Sites
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally analyses the...
Protein Networks
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...
