In system biology, the interactions between components such as genes, proteins, can be represented by a network. To understand the molecular mechanism of complex biological systems, construction of their networks plays a crucial role. However, estimation of these biological networks is a challenging problem because of their high dimensional and sparse structures. Several statistical methods are proposed to overcome this issue. The Conic Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (CMARS) is one of the recent nonparametric methods developed for high dimensional and correlated data. This model is suggested to improve the performance of the Multivariate Adaptive Regression Spline (MARS) approach which is a complex model under the generalized additive models. From previous studies, it has been shown that MARS can be a promising model for the description of steady-state activations of biological networks if it is modified as a lasso-type regression via the main effects. In this study, we convert the full description of CMARS as a loop-based approach, so-called LCMARS, by including both main and second-order interaction effects since this description has performed better in benchmark real datasets. Here, we generate various scenarios based on distinct distributions and dimensions to compare the performance of LCMARS with MARS and Gaussian Graphical Model (GGM) in terms of accuracy measures via Monte Carlo runs. Additionally, different real biological datasets are used to observe the performance of underlying methods.

Prediction of protein-protein interactions from sequence using evolutionary relations of proteins and species
Güney, Tacettin Doğacan; Can, Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2009)
Prediction of protein-protein interactions is an important part in understanding the biological processes in a living cell. There are completely sequenced organisms that do not yet have experimentally verified protein-protein interaction networks. For such organisms, we can not generally use a supervised method, where a portion of the protein-protein interaction network is used as training set. Furthermore, for newly-sequenced organisms, many other data sources, such as gene expression data and gene ontolog...
Prediction of enzyme classes in a hierarchical approach by using spmap
Yaman, Ayşe Gül; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Department of Computer Engineering (2009)
Enzymes are proteins that play an important role in biochemical reactions as catalysts. They are classified based on the reaction they catalyzed, in a hierarchical scheme by International Enzyme Commission (EC). This hierarchical scheme is expressed as a four-level tree structure and a unique number is assigned to each enzyme class. There are six major classes at the top level according to the reaction they carried out and sub-classes at the lower levels are further specific reactions of these classes. The ...

Integration of a Genetically Encoded Calcium Molecular Sensor into Photopolymerizable Hydrogels for Micro-Optrode-Based Sensing
Kahyaoğlu, Leyla Nesrin; Park, Joon Hyeong; Rickus, Jenna L. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017-09-20)
Genetically encoded molecular-protein sensors (GEMS) are engineered to sense and quantify a wide range of biological substances and events in cells, in vitro and even in vivo with high spatial and temporal resolution. Here, we aim to stably incorporate these proteins into a photopatternable matrix, while preserving their functionality, to extend the application of these proteins as spatially addressable optical biosensors. For this reason, we examined the fabrication of 3D hydrogel microtips doped with a ge...
Discovering functional interaction patterns in protein-protein interaction networks
Turanalp, Mehmet E.; Can, Tolga (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-06-11)
Background: In recent years, a considerable amount of research effort has been directed to the analysis of biological networks with the availability of genome-scale networks of genes and/or proteins of an increasing number of organisms. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network is a particular biological network which represents physical interactions between pairs of proteins of an organism. Major research on PPI networks has focused on understanding the topological organization of PPI networks, evolution...
