Abstract

Contact map is the simplified, 2D representation of protein spatial structure. Contact map prediction is an intermediate step to predict protein 3D structure. Ensemble learning-based model is a collection of learners that is more accurate than a single learner. In this paper we propose an ensemble learning method for contact map prediction. Results show that a considerable performance improvement is attainable using this approach instead of using a single model.
