ABSTRACT

Proteins are one of the most important biological macromolecules, essential for
practically all biological processes and activities in the cell. Experimental data
suggests that big proteins aggregate the key structural and biological activities.
Proteins are made up of amino acid sequences, hence understanding the link
between amino acid sequences and protein function is a critical challenge in
molecular biology. Protein sequence analysis is vital for understanding and
predicting protein function and structure. Predicting protein structure has
emerged as a prominent and crucial use of current computational biology, with
far-reaching scientific consequences in protein function, illness prediction,
treatment design, and pharmaceutical research and development. With the
improvement of contemporary methodologies, researchers began to focus on the
broad use of computational approaches for predicting protein structure and
sequence analysis. In the field of 18 computational biology, several
computational techniques can be used to predict protein-protein interactions and
protein-sequences, including homology modelling, natural language processing,
deep learning models, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI). In this
chapter, the authors attempted to consolidate recent research works on Protein
Sequence Analysis and offer a review to help researchers accelerate their future
work. This will aid in comparing and selecting efficient approaches for different
use cases.
Introduction
Proteins are the most important macromolecules in animals, as they play a role in
almost every activity in living cells. All proteins are made up of twenty-one amino
acids (AAs), which are combined in diverse ways to produce different proteins.
Amino acids are composed of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and, in certain
cases, sulphur atoms. These atoms unite to create side chains, which are linked to
the core carbon atom, amino groups, and carboxyl groups. The sole difference
between various amino acids is their side chain, which determines their 32
properties. A peptide bond, commonly known as a covalent connection between
two amino acid molecules, is a substituted amide linkage. As shown, such a link
is formed by eliminating the water molecules bound to the alpha carboxyl portion
of the first AA molecule and the alpha-amino group of the second AA molecule.
Similar to this, two peptide bonds can connect three amino acids to form a tri-
peptide, four to form a tetra-peptide, and so on . This type of combining of many
AAs produces a polypeptide. The part of an AA in a peptide that remains after
water loss is known as a residue. A protein can include up to 1000 AA residues.
Polypeptides and proteins are commonly used interchangeably. Polypeptide
molecules have a molecular weight (MW) of fewer than 10,000 Daltons, while
proteins have a higher MW. Proteins normally require a partner to complete their
job; they cannot do it alone. The companion might be proteins, DNA, or RNA .
A single protein molecule inside a cell cannot offer much functionality; however,
when many proteins are present, they work together to produce a functional unit.
Protein-protein interactions (PPI) occur when a protein interacts with another
protein or when two or more proteins communicate with one another via a
signalling pathway . Proteins interact to control and mediate a wide range of
cellular biological activities. For example, cell signalling, cellular transport (PPI
is employed when molecules enter and exit the cell), and muscular contraction
(which is facilitated by PPI between active myosin filaments). Thus, PPIs play an
important role in a variety of scenarios. However, disruption or the formation of
abnormal relationships can lead to illness. This motivates many researchers to
anticipate PPI as early as possible when illness symptoms appear. Certain
disorders develop symptoms later in life, necessitating complex treatment or
possibly death. Prior understanding of PPIs can help uncover pharmaceutical
targets, new biological processes, and novel disease therapies. Computational
approaches are more efficient and successful for predicting PPIs than
investigative methods such as tandem affinity purification (TAP), protein chips,
and biological procedures.

Protein
In this section authors have discussed about the structure of protein and the
various classification in Enzyme Class.

Structure of Protein
In the following section, authors have discussed about the various types of
structures of protein.

Primary Protein Structure

In terms of semantic orientation determination, there are two forms of sentiment
categorization for a document: (i) Corpus-based approach - This technique is used
to assess sentiment based on inter-word co-occurrence of relationship; (ii)
Dictionary-based approach - This technique lists all synonyms and antonyms of
words to construct sentiments using dictionaries. Kowcika et al. talked about
sentiment analysis for social media. According to the research, Sentiment
Analysis may be performed on a variety of social media sites, including Twitter,
to determine if a tweet is favourable or negative.
It may also determine a person's age and gender based on the words they speak.
Arti Buche et al. conducted a survey about opinion mining and analysis in their
study. The survey indicated that Sentiment Analysis may be used to track items
on the Internet. It is critical for companies to collect information from many
sources, such as review sites, blogs, and so on, to identify whether the post reflects
good or negative sentiment. Preslav Nakov et al. established the notion of
Sentiment Analysis in Twitter, which provides information about followers,
retweets, and hashtags. In another study, Rajani Shree Manjappa highlighted their
suggested novel technique for identifying subjects using Twitter-based sentiment
analysis. It gives a comprehensive understanding of how various social media
platforms are utilised for cooperation and information exchange. Emotions such
as happiness, sadness, and rage are then produced from facts or opinions classed
as neutral, positive, or negative words. The skeleton of a protein is the linear AA
sequence that forms its main structure. Gene encoding determines protein
sequence, and changing it affects both the structure and functioning of the whole
protein. Each protein consists of one or more polypeptide chains. When amino
acids are converted into proteins, the carboxyl groups of one amino acid and the
amino group of another create peptide bonds. Polypeptide chain ends differ
chemically from one another. Polypeptide chains have chemically distinct
endpoints due to their directed character. The amino terminus, also known as the
N-terminus, is the end with a free amino group, whereas the carboxyl end section,
also known as the C-terminus, contains one as well. Protein auxiliary chains may
be polar or non-polar. Typically, most of them lack polarity. Protein folding is
influenced by several factors, including Van der Waals interactions, amino acid
location, protein sequence, and side chain interactions.

Secondary structure of Protein

Polypeptide chains interact with one another, resulting in secondary structure.
There are two folding patterns: alpha-helices and beta-pleated sheets. In an alpha-
helix, a hydrogen bond is established between one amino acid's carbonyl group
(C=0) and the hydrogen atom four places down the chain. This bonding
configuration causes the polypeptide chain to form a helix, with each turn
containing 3.6 amino acid molecules [21]. Beta-pleated sheets can have parallel
or non-parallel strands, with one strand having a C-terminal end and the other
having an N-terminal end.

Ternary Structure of Protein

The tertiary structure of protein is generated when protein molecule chains fold
up, generating an unbroken shape and increasing the volume to surface ratio. The
tertiary structure is the product of electrostatic interactions between the R groups.
Proteins are composed of amino acid chunks with hydrophobic R groups on the
inside and nonpolar R groups on the outside, which are hydrophilic and may react
with neighbouring water molecules. Disulphide bonds also contribute to the
tertiary structure. Disulphide connections are covalent, resulting in strong
interaction between polypeptide components.
Quaternary structure
A protein's quaternary structure is determined by how its subunits are arranged.
Protein subunits generate stable folded structures by interacting two or more
polypeptide chains.

bonds present in it.

Protein Classification in Enzyme Class

Sentiment Analysis, often known as Opinion Mining, is a Natural Language
Processing (NLP) approach used to analyse people's opinions, appraisals,
feelings, assessments, and sentiments. It is the most well-known text
classification tool for analysing incoming data. Protein data has been divided into
six enzyme classes, each with its own set of properties. According to research on
protein classification, certain proteins are incorrectly classified into multiple
classes, which impacts the accuracy of function prediction . Proteins can be
classified using a variety of approaches. Here are several categorization
approaches for proteins:
(a) QUEST (b) C5.0, (c) CRT, (d) SVM, (e) Bayesian, (f) ANN (g) CHAID.

a) QUEST: Compared to other tree-based classification approaches, it is a binary

classification technique that uses a tree structure to speed up processing. To
choose an input field for this categorization, a statistical test has been run.
Additionally, it isolates the splitting of trees and input selection.

b) CS.0: Compared to other tree-based classification approaches, it is a binary

classification technique that uses a tree structure to speed up processing. To
choose an input field for this categorization, a statistical test has been run.
Additionally, it isolates the splitting of trees and input selection.

c) CRT: In this classification, the original data is categorised using a

classification tree, and the predictions are based on a regression tree.

d) SVM: One of the most popular statistical learning-based classification

methods for categorising and forecasting data, it is utilised extensively. One of
the numerous classification problems it solves is the non-linearly high
dimensional problem.
e) Bayesian: A classification technique based on graphs. According to this
methodology, any single node represents collection of variables represent as a set.
An edge between any two nodes resembles the conditional dependency between
nodes. This methodology contains its application even in the field where we
classify sequenced data.

f) ANN: Artificial Neural Network is inspired from the architecture of human

brain and specifically from the structure of cognitive functional unit of brain,
Neuron. This is the simplest software version of biological neuron. A simplest
ANN generally have a topological structure of graph. The node calculates the net
input through all the input edge in it and decide if it will fire or not by the
activation function. The popular activation functions are- ReLU, Step function
and sigmoid function. This model adapts its "weights" assigned in the edges by
using back-propagation while the model has been trained on data.

g) CHAID: It is a tree-based approach for categorising and predicting variables

as well as discovering how they interact. Multiple regression is used to create a
non-binary tree. Finding out how one variable affects the performance of other
variables is the major goal of the CHAID approach .

Deep Learning and its Implementation

Deep learning, a branch of machine learning, focuses on developing artificial
neural networks inspired by the structure and function of the human brain. A
neuron, the simplest soft-copy of our generic biological neuron, serves as the
network's unit. These neurons are stacked on top of one another to form networks
that are designed to learn patterns and relationships in large amounts of data and
can be used to solve a variety of complex problems that typically have nonlinear
solution curves or planes or a higher dimensional complex set of equations to
solve. This encompasses picture and audio recognition, natural language
processing, and video analysis. One of the most essential aspects of deep learning
is its capacity to learn from massive volumes of data, allowing the system to
construct sophisticated representations of the material being processed. This is
accomplished by training the model on big datasets, allowing it to detect hidden
patterns and correlations in the data.
The process of developing a deep learning model usually begins with data
processing. This includes gathering, cleaning, normalising, and dividing the data
into training, validation, and testing sets [34]. The training dataset is used to train
the model, the validation dataset is used to validate the model's performance, and
the testing set is used to evaluate the model's overall performance. After the data
has been analysed, the next stage is building the model. This entails establishing
the model architecture, which includes the kind of network (convolutional neural
network or recurrent neural network), the number of layers, and the activation
functions. The model architecture is then initialised with random weights, and a
loss function is developed to quantify the difference between the expected and
actual outputs. The next stage is to train the model, which is accomplished by
feeding training data to the model and updating the weights based on the gradients
of the loss function. This procedure is done for numerous epochs, and the model's
performance is tracked using the validation set. Once trained, the model is
packaged for deployment. This entails preserving the model, including its
architecture, weights, and loss function, and then converting it to a static format
that can be deployed in a production environment. Finally, the model is tested
and verified against the testing set. This entails assessing the model's performance
using previously unknown data and, if required, modifying the model's
architecture, weights, or loss function to improve performance. One of the most
significant advantages of deep learning is its capacity to learn complicated data
representations, allowing it to handle complex problems that regular machine
learning algorithms cannot. For example, deep learning algorithms have been
used to create self-driving cars, which rely on the model's capacity to interpret
vast volumes of data from various sensors and make real-time judgements based
on that data. Another advantage of deep learning is its capacity to execute
unsupervised learning, which allows the model to learn from data without
requiring labelled input. This is especially beneficial in issues where data
labelling is time-consuming or expensive, such as natural language processing
and computer vision. Deep learning presents various obstacles, including the
requirement for vast quantities of data and computational resources, the risk of
overfitting, and the difficulty in comprehending learnt representations.
Furthermore, deep learning models can be sensitive to data quality and
distribution, and model architecture and hyperparameter selection can have a
considerable influence on the model's performance. Despite these obstacles, deep
learning has shown to be a viable and effective computing approach for tackling
complicated issues, and it is quickly becoming a vital component of many sectors,
including healthcare, banking, and retail. As the discipline evolves and new
approaches and technology emerge, deep learning is expected to play an
increasingly crucial role in the advancement of artificial intelligence and machine
learning. Deep learning can alter businesses by giving strong tools to solve
complicated issues.

Deep Learning Architecture

To train and evaluate a supervised deep learning model for protein-protein
interaction binding sites, labelled datasets must be divided into three categories:
training, validation, and test. Data should be vetted and pre-processed prior to
training and inference.
Random partitioning and the use of knowledge-based annotation databases to
avoid data leakage from the training set into the test set are two common data
splitting strategies. Protein structure representations, such as sequences, grids,
and graphs, are critical in the design of a machine learning project and should be
selected depending on the job and available data. A well-defined representation
can provide structural and chemical information about the protein, handle inputs
of different sizes, and be computationally efficient.

Fig 3: Deep Learning Architecture

Figure 3 shows how to train deep learning models and evaluate their performance.
It describes how the purpose of training is to minimise a loss function by updating
the model parameters using mini-batches of training data. The article also adds
that deep learning models have a unique set of hyperparameters that must be
optimised for the greatest predicted performance. It examines the use of
evaluation metrics, notably cross-validation and training/validation/testing data
splits, to select the best set of hyperparameters and measure model performance.
Cross-validation approaches for testing deep learning models can be time-
consuming and computationally costly.
(i) Multi-Modal Learning: It has been demonstrated that combining several data
modalities can help predict protein-protein interaction locations. Local and global
sequence-based characteristics may be recorded via a sliding window and a text
CNN, respectively. The topic of whether to fuse these elements early or late in
the model design, as well as if distinct input encoders are required, must be
addressed. Furthermore, the relationship between the various modes must be
considered throughout the computation. Feature ablation research can assist in
understanding the appropriate participation fraction of each sort of mode.

ii) Transfer Learning: This machine-learning process entails pre-training a

model on an identical task before fine-tuning it for the primary job by changing
or adding to the latter layers and re-training on the original dataset. Instead of
beginning from scratch, this model that was trained for one job is utilised as a
starting point for another comparable task. This saves time and increases
accuracy. When utilising transfer learning, practitioners can choose whether to
retain the pre-trained model's weights unchanged during fine-tuning or to update
them. The pre-trained layers may be viewed as a collection of fixed characteristics
collected from data.

(iii)Multi-task Learning: Multi-task learning (MTL) is a technique for

simultaneously training a model on a number of related tasks. This machine
learning model tries to improve the model's resilience and prediction accuracy. It
makes advantage of additional auxiliary losses. It seems to reason that auxiliary
tasks would provide training signals that would aid the model's learning of the
core task via inductive transfer. This method has been used to predict both
interaction sites and solvent-accessible residues in PPI site prediction, therefore
eliminating the class imbalance issue. Future research might focus on predicting
both PPI and nucleic acid or small molecule binding locations.
(iv) Attention Mechanism: Attention mechanisms enable models to focus on
specific parts of inputs based on their significance, and co-attention is a useful
mechanism in multiple models for predicting PPI sites between proteins, allowing
the model to attend to different regions based on the interaction. Attentive
processes have shown promising results in paratope prediction [49].

protein metal-binding sites, which is crucial for understanding protein
function.

interaction data.

pressure sensors and an alcohol sensor. When aberrant grip pressure or
excessive alcohol levels are detected, the device sounds alarms, displays
warnings, and may even lock the engine, potentially lowering fatalities
from drunken driving. Future applications may include safe landing
methods for automobiles, demonstrating the system's adaptability in
improving road safety.

acids). Now every protein is formed using this basic building block (amino acids).

Step 2: A specific protein structure (A unique sequence of amino acids)

Interaction with another specific protein is shown. This is collected from wet
mattress and stored in database.

Analysis
1. Data Imbalance and Representativeness: Despite efforts to resolve data
imbalance through preprocessing, maintaining total representativeness
remains difficult, particularly for diverse datasets. This constraint may
have an impact on the generalizability and application of prediction models
to a wide range of protein binding events.

accurate and actionable insights in protein binding analysis.
Conclusion

Many studies have been undertaken in the computational biology sector to

investigate the prediction of protein sequences and protein-protein interactions,
and there is still a large area to explore for researchers. With the pandemic, the
demand for anticipating probable protein sequences and interactions between
proteins has grown significantly. The study focuses on several digital and
computational methods for predicting protein-protein sequences and
interactions.Various deep learning and neural network models have been applied
to create the best accurate approach for classifying and predicting protein
sequences based on their functions and characteristics. A comparative study has
been performed on the various approaches based on their experimental findings,
providing information on the best accurate methodology available to date for
predicting protein sequences and protein-protein interaction sites. This
investigation revealed that the SAE model has the lowest accuracy, while the
General Regression Neural Network has the maximum accuracy of 99.97%. As a
result of the review, we can conclude that the General Regression Neural Network
methodology is the best accurate method for predicting protein sequences and
PPIs.
Future Scope
1. Integration of Multi-Modal Data Sources: Currently, machine learning
approaches primarily focus on analyzing protein binding using single-modal data
sources. Future work could explore integrating multi-modal data, including
genomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics data, to provide a more
comprehensive understanding of protein binding across different elements. By
combining various data sources, we can potentially uncover complex interactions
and regulatory mechanisms governing protein binding.

2.Development of Hybrid Models: Incorporating both traditional machine

learning algorithms and deep learning techniques could enhance the accuracy and
interpretability of protein binding predictions. Hybrid models could leverage the
strengths of both approaches, utilizing deep learning for feature extraction and
traditional machine learning for classification or regression tasks. This integration
could lead to more robust and generalized models for protein binding analysis.

3. Exploration of Graph-Based Approaches: Graph-based machine learning

techniques offer promising avenues for modeling protein interactions. Future
research could focus on developing graph neural networks (GNNs) or graph
convolutional networks (GCNs) tailored for analyzing protein binding networks.
These approaches could capture the inherent structure and relationships within
protein interaction networks, leading to more accurate predictions of binding
affinity.
4. Attention Mechanisms and Explainable AI: Incorporating attention
mechanisms into machine learning models can enhance their interpretability by
highlighting the most relevant features contributing to protein binding. Future
work could explore the use of attention-based models to identify critical amino
acid residues or binding sites involved in protein interactions. Additionally,
research on explainable AI techniques could provide insights into the decision-
making process of machine learning models, increasing their trustworthiness and
usability in real-world applications.

could be leveraged to transfer knowledge from well-studied protein binding
datasets to domains with limited labeled data. By pre-training models on large-
scale datasets and fine-tuning them on target datasets, we can overcome data
scarcity issues and improve the generalization of machine learning models.
Domain adaptation methods could also be explored to adapt models trained on
one type of element to predict binding in different elements, thus increasing the
versatility of the models.

6. Interactive and Collaborative Tools: Developing user-friendly, interactive

tools for protein binding analysis could democratize access to machine learning
techniques in the field. Future work could focus on creating web-based platforms

biases in protein binding prediction models and ensuring equitable outcomes
across diverse populations. Additionally, research on privacy-preserving machine
learning methods could enable the analysis of sensitive protein binding data while
protecting individuals' privacy and confidentiality.
