Automated classification of proteins is indispensable for further in vivo investigation of excessive number of unknown sequences generated by large scale molecular biology techniques. This study describes a discriminative system based on feature space mapping, called subsequence profile map (SPMap) for functional classification of protein sequences. SPMap takes into account the information coming from the subsequences of a protein. A group of protein sequences that belong to the same level of classification is decomposed into fixed-length subsequences and they are clustered to obtain a representative feature space mapping. Mapping is defined as the distribution of the subsequences of a protein sequence over these clusters. The resulting feature space representation is used to train discriminative classifiers for functional families. The aim of this approach is to incorporate information coming from important subregions that are conserved over a family of proteins while avoiding the difficult task of explicit motif identification. The performance of the method was assessed through tests on various protein classification tasks. Our results showed that SPMap is capable of high accuracy classification in most of these tasks. Furthermore SPMap is fast and scalable enough to handle large datasets.

Subsequence feature maps for protein function annotation Saraç, Ömer Sinan; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Department of Computer Engineering (2008) With the advances in sequencing technologies, the number of protein sequences with unknown function increases rapidly. Hence, computational methods for functional annotation of these protein sequences become of the upmost importance. In this thesis, we first defined a feature space mapping of protein primary sequences to fixed dimensional numerical vectors. This mapping, which is called the Subsequence Profile Map (SPMap), takes into account the models of the subsequences of protein sequences. The resulting...
ECPred: a tool for the prediction of the enzymatic functions of protein sequences based on the EC nomenclature Dalkıran, Alperen; Rifaioğlu, Ahmet Süreyya; Dogan, Tunca; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan (2018-09-21) Background: The automated prediction of the enzymatic functions of uncharacterized proteins is a crucial topic in bioinformatics. Although several methods and tools have been proposed to classify enzymes, most of these studies are limited to specific functional classes and levels of the Enzyme Commission (EC) number hierarchy. Besides, most of the previous methods incorporated only a single input feature type, which limits the applicability to the wide functional space. Here, we proposed a novel enzymatic f...
Enzyme prediction with word embedding approach Akın, Erkan; Atalay, M. Volkan.; Department of Computer Engineering (2019) Information such as molecular function, biological process, and cellular localization can be inferred from the protein sequence. However, protein sequences vary in length. Therefore, the sequence itself cannot be used directly as a feature vector for pattern recognition and machine learning algorithms since these algorithms require fixed length feature vectors. We describe an approach based on the use of the Word2vec model, more specifically continuous skip-gram model to generate the vector representation o...
FTIR spectroscopic characterization of protein structure in aqueous and non-aqueous media Haris, PI; Severcan, Feride (1999-09-15) With increasing use of proteins in many different applications, ranging from phramaceuticals to biosensors and biomaterials, there has emerged a need for protein structural characterisation in diverse environments. In many cases it is not sufficient to just have the three-dimensional structure of a protein in H2O or in the crystalline state. Often information on the structural properties of a protein is required in the presence of organic solvents, detergent micelles, phospholipid membranes and so on. Fouri...
Prediction of protein subcellular localization based on primary sequence data Özarar, Mert; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Department of Computer Engineering (2003) Subcellular localization is crucial for determining the functions of proteins. A system called prediction of protein subcellular localization (P2SL) that predicts the subcellular localization of proteins in eukaryotic organisms based on the amino acid content of primary sequences using amino acid order is designed. The approach for prediction is to nd the most frequent motifs for each protein in a given class based on clustering via self organizing maps and then to use these most frequent motifs as features...
