Abstract

Transmembrane proteins are the primary targets for the development of new drugs, and a number of algorithms that predict transmembrane topology are publicly available on the Web. In this paper, we present a novel approach using both SVM and HMM methods and we demonstrate that our system outperform the previous systems which only use either HMM methods or SVM methods alone.
