Sequence mining consists of finding statistically relevant patterns in data collections represented sequentially. These, are an important type of data, where it matters the order that occupy the elements in the set and that finds a wide range of applications in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. The prediction of protein structures is one of these applications. Where, a protein is no more than a sequence of amino acids forming patterns known as alpha helices, beta sheets and turns. For purposes of our investigation, these collections or secondary structures would be the itemsets, while the amino acids that make up the entire sequence, the items. Despite multiple attempts to predict protein folding, the algorithms developed to date only reach a 35% effectiveness. That is why we propose SPMCcm, an algorithm based on the prediction of frequent sequences and a scheme of classifiers. Which uses the information provided by the amino acid sequence, in two stages. Where, the first stage learns of the interactions between the secondary structures of the proteins, which it extracts as frequent sequences or itemsets. Meanwhile, the second stage learns of the interaction between the amino acids present in the interacting structures or items.The experimental evaluation showed that SPMCcm behaves in a similar way, independently of the base classifier used, reaching accuracies in the prediction of up to 48%, higher than the 35% reported by the literature, without using large computational resources and possessing explanatory capacity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
