- Abstract
Background: Membrane proteins play an important role in the life activities of organisms. Knowing membrane protein types provides clues for understanding the structure and function of proteins. Though various computational methods for predicting membrane protein types have been developed, the results still do not meet the expectations of researchers. Results: We propose two deep learning models to process sequence information and evolutionary information, respectively. Both models obtained better results than traditional machine learning models. Furthermore, to improve the performance of the sequence information model, we also provide a new vector representation method to replace the one-hot encoding, whose overall success rate improved by 3.81% and 6.55% on two datasets. Finally, a more effective model is obtained by fusing the above two models, whose overall success rate reached 95.68% and 92.98% on two datasets. Conclusion: The final experimental results show that our method is more effective than existing methods for predicting membrane protein types, which can help laboratory researchers to identify the type of novel membrane proteins.
