Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.2K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
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,...

Protein-protein Interfaces02:04

Protein-protein Interfaces

14.0K
Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Proteomics

8.5K
A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...

Ligand Binding Sites02:40

Ligand Binding Sites

14.2K
Proteins are dynamic macromolecules that carry out a wide variety of essential processes; however, the activities of most proteins depend on their interactions with other molecules or ions, known as ligands.
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Natural Language Processing

Background:

  • Biomedical literature is rapidly expanding, creating a need for automated knowledge extraction.
  • Discovering relationships between biological entities is crucial for advancing scientific understanding.
  • Existing methods for knowledge extraction from text require enhancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To generate word vector representations (embeddings) from a large biomedical text corpus using the word2vec approach.
  • To develop and validate a text mining pipeline for creating biomedical word embeddings.
  • To assess the utility of these embeddings in constructing biological networks and aiding in cancer data analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the word2vec model on over 16 million PubMed abstracts.
  • Implemented a text mining pipeline with pre-processing steps, including synonym substitution.
  • Extracted gene-gene networks from word embeddings to train Graph-Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs).
  • Compared performance against networks derived from protein-protein interactions (PPI) and other embedding algorithms.

Main Results:

  • Word embeddings captured biologically meaningful relationships, evidenced by high cosine similarity with known biological interactions (PPIs, pathways, functions).
  • Graph-CNNs trained with word2vec-derived networks showed competitive performance in metastatic event prediction tasks.
  • The size of the corpus influenced the variability of word representations.

Conclusions:

  • Word embeddings generated via text mining are effective for capturing biologically relevant entity relationships.
  • The developed word embeddings provide a valuable resource for constructing biological networks and advancing biomedical research.
  • A web service was created for exploring relationships between biomedical terms using these annotated embeddings.
