Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a technology in the field of membrane protein structure prediction and computational intelligence, specifically a method for predicting the transmembrane region of membrane protein beta-barrel based on sparse coding and chain learning. Background technique [0002] At present, with the rapid development of proteome databases, the number of proteins with known structures is increasing, which plays an important role in the study of protein functions. Membrane proteins are embedded in the biomembrane and run through the phospholipid bilayer. They have strong hydrophobicity and are not suitable for crystallization. The experimental method to solve the protein structure is not only expensive but also time-consuming. Therefore, using calculation methods to predict protein structure is a However, traditional machine learning methods still have some problems to be solved in the field of protein prediction, such as feature selection and...
