Abstract

In this paper, we focus on protein inter-residue contacts map prediction, one of the most important intermediate steps to the protein folding problem, based on radial basis function neural network (RBFNN), and propose a novel binary encoding scheme for the purpose of learning the inter-residue contact patterns. The experimental evidence on globulin protein indicates the utility of our proposed encoding strategy. Moreover, the simulation results demonstrate that the network get a better performance for these proteins, whose residue length falls into the area of (100,300), and our proposed encoding strategy has promising future in the research on contacts map prediction problem.
