Background:
The prediction of drug-protein interaction (DPI) plays an important role in drug discovery and repositioning. Unfortunately, traditional experimental validation of DPIs is expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, it is necessary to develop in silico methods for the identification of potential DPIs.
Methods:
In this work, the identification of DPIs was performed by the generated recommendation of the unexplored interaction of the drug-protein bipartite graph. Three kinds of recommenders were proposed to predict the potential DPIs.
Results:
The simulation results showed that the proposed models obtained good performance in crossvalidation and independent test.
Conclusion:
Our recommendation strategy based on collaborative filtering can effectively improve the DPI identification performance, especially for certain DPIs lacking chemical structure similarity or genomic sequence similarity.
