Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for predicting protein-protein interaction lack accurate representation of protein structure and function, which are crucial for predicting protein-protein interaction, as they typically rely only on amino acid information without incorporating high-level features like structure and function.

Innovation Solution

A multimodal protein representation model is trained using synergistic data of protein sequence, structure, and function to generate a fusion representation vector, which is then input into a protein-protein interaction prediction model for improved accuracy and robustness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If only amino acid sequence information is used for protein representation, then the method complexity is low, but the prediction accuracy of protein-protein interaction deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidmethod complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple protein representation modalities (amino acid sequence, function information, and structure information) into a unified fusion representation vector. This combining of diverse information sources enables the model to capture comprehensive protein characteristics, significantly improving prediction accuracy while the modular architecture manages the complexity through systematic integration of multiple input channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite protein representation by integrating heterogeneous data types (sequence, function, and structure information) analogous to composite materials. This multi-component representation framework combines the strengths of different information sources, producing a robust fusion representation that enhances prediction performance while maintaining structured organization to manage complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If multiple modalities (sequence, structure, function) are integrated for protein representation, then the prediction accuracy improves, but the computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction robustnessVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the protein representation task into three distinct modalities: amino acid sequence processing, function information processing, and structure information processing. Each modality is handled by dedicated processing components that generate separate representation vectors, which are then fused. This segmentation improves robustness by ensuring each aspect is properly captured while managing complexity through modular, organized processing streams.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If comprehensive protein information (sequence, structure, function) is utilized, then the generalization capability improves, but the data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegeneralization capabilityVSAvoiddata processing volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing each modality (sequence, function, structure) into dedicated representation vectors before fusion. The amino acid sequence is encoded into a sequence representation vector, function information is processed into a function representation vector, and structure information is converted into a structure representation vector. This preliminary processing organizes raw data into structured formats, improving generalization capability while managing data processing volume through systematic pre-processing of each information type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
