Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach, namely SSVS, to improve the secondary structure prediction of proteins. In this work, a Radial Basis Function Neural Network is trained to combine different answers found by different secondary structure prediction techniques to produce superior answers. SSVS is tested with three of the well-known benchmarks in this field. The results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed technique even in the case of formidable sequences.
