Abstract

We have developed a system, which we call affinity evaluation and prediction (AEP) system, to evaluate and predict the partners in protein-protein interaction (PPI) by using a statistical method for calculated docking scores. The complex-protein structures obtained in shape complementary evaluation are selected by a newly developed clustering method called grouping. Our previous experiments showed that the AEP system has a tendency to give different accuracy depending on biologically significant protein dataset and data scale (20×20= 400 protein pairs). In this study, we set a data scale (54×54=2916 protein pairs) including 54 biologically significant complexes. As a result of receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis, the AEP system obtained 55.6% sensitivity (=recall), 70.6% specificity, 3.44% precision, 70.3% accuracy, 6.48% F-measure and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.655. The prediction accuracy of F-measure was about 1.82 times higher than that of a random sampling (F-measurerandom=3.57%). By optimizing the grouping procedure, the AEP system successfully predicted 30 protein pairs (among 54 pairs) that were biologically significant.
