A discriminative method for remote homology detection based on n-peptide compositions with reduced amino acid alphabets

2007-01-01
In this study, n-peptide compositions are utilized for protein vectorization over a discriminative remote homology detection framework based on support vector machines (SVMs). The size of amino acid alphabet is gradually reduced for increasing values of n to make the method to conform with the memory resources in conventional workstations. A hash structure is implemented for accelerated search of n-peptides. The method is tested to see its ability to classify proteins into families on a subset of SCOP family database and compared against many of the existing homology detection methods including the most popular generative methods; SAM-98 and PSI-BLAST and the recent SVM methods; SVM-Fisher, SVM-BLAST and SVM-Pairwise. The results have demonstrated that the new method significantly outperforms SVM-Fisher, SVM-BLAST, SAM-98 and PSI-BLAST, while achieving a comparable accuracy with SVM-Pairwise. In terms of efficiency, it performs much better than SVM-Pairwise. It is shown that the information of n-peptide compositions with reduced amino acid alphabets provides an accurate and efficient means of protein vectorization for SVM-based sequence classification.

A temporal neural network model for constructing connectionist expert system knowledge bases
Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (Elsevier BV, 1996-04-01)
This paper introduces a temporal feedforward neural network model that can be applied to a number of neural network application areas, including connectionist expert systems. The neural network model has a multi-layer structure, i.e. the number of layers is not limited. Also, the model has the flexibility of defining output nodes in any layer. This is especially important for connectionist expert system applications.

Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) are the key components in many cellular processes including signaling pathways, enzymatic reactions and epigenetic regulation. Abnormal interactions of some proteins may be pathogenic and cause various disorders including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Although inhibiting PPIs with small molecules is a challenging task, it gained an increasing interest because of its strong potential for drug discovery and design. The knowledge of the interface as well as the stru...
An Information Theoretic Approach to Classify Cognitive States Using fMRI

In this study, an information theoretic approach is proposed to model brain connectivity during a cognitive processing task, measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). For this purpose, a local mesh of varying size is formed around each voxel. The arc weights of each mesh are estimated using a linear regression model by minimizing the squared error. Then, the optimal mesh size for each sample, that represents the information distribution in the brain, is estimated by minimizing various inform...
