چکیده

The back-propagation neural network algorithm is a commonly used method for predicting the secondary structure of proteins. Whilst popular, this method can be slow to learn and here we compare it with an alternative: the cascade-correlation architecture. Using a constructive algorithm, cascade-correlation achieves predictive accuracies comparable to those obtained by back-propagation, in shorter time.

Protein Secondary Structure Prediction: a Literature Review with Focus on Machine Learning Approaches

DNA sequence, containing all genetic traits is not a functional entity. Instead, it transfers to protein sequences by transcription and translation processes. This protein sequence takes on a 3D structure later, which is a functional unit and can manage biological interactions using the information encoded in DNA. Every life process one can figure is undertaken by proteins with specific functio...

Neural Prediction of Buckling Capacity of Stiffened Cylindrical Shells

Estimation of the nonlinear buckling capacity of thin walled shells is one of the most important aspects of structural mechanics. In this study the axial buckling load of 132 stiffened shells were numerically calculated. The applicability of artificial neural networks (ANN) in predicting the buckling capacity of vertically stiffened shells was studied. To this end feed forward (FF) multi-layer ...

Improving Predicition of Protein Secondary Structure Using Structured Neural Networks and Multiple Sequence Alignments

The prediction of protein secondary structure by use of carefully structured neural networks and multiple sequence alignments has been investigated. Separate networks are used for predicting the three secondary structures alpha-helix, beta-strand, and coil. The networks are designed using a priori knowledge of amino acid properties with respect to the secondary structure and the characteristic ...
