Deep learning methods for 3D structural proteome and interactome modeling
Open accessAbstract
Bolstered by recent methodological and hardware advances, deep learning has increasingly been applied to biological problems and structural proteomics. Such approaches have achieved remarkable improvements over traditional machine learning methods in tasks ranging from protein contact map prediction to protein folding, prediction of protein-protein interaction interfaces, and characterization of protein-drug binding pockets. In particular, emergence of ab initio protein structure prediction methods including AlphaFold2 has revolutionized protein structural modeling. From a protein function perspective, numerous deep learning methods have facilitated deconvolution of the exact amino acid residues and protein surface regions responsible for binding other proteins or small molecule drugs. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of recent deep learning methods applied in structural proteomics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
