Discovering NDM-1 inhibitors using molecular substructure embeddings representations
In this study, we deliver a new, curated NDM-1 bioactivities database, along with a set of unifying rules for managing different activity properties and inconsistencies. We define the activity classification problem in terms of Multiple Instance Learning, employing embeddings corresponding to molecular substructures and present an ensemble ranking and classification framework, relaying on a k-fold Cross Validation method employing a per fold hyper-parameter optimization procedure, showing promising generalization ability. The MIL paradigm displayed an improvement up to 45.7 %, in terms of Balanced Accuracy, in comparison t...

Enhanced identification of membrane transport proteins: a hybrid approach combining ProtBERT-BFD and convolutional neural networks
In this study, we expand upon this approach by utilizing representations from ProtBERT, ProtBERT-BFD, and MembraneBERT in combination with classical classifiers. Additionally, we introduce TooT-BERT-CNN-T, a novel method that fine-tunes ProtBERT-BFD and discriminates transporters using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Our experimental results reveal that CNN surpasses traditional classifiers in discriminating transporters from non-transporters, achieving an MCC of 0.89 and an accuracy of 95.1 % on the independent test set. This represents an improvement of 0.03 and 1.11 percentage points compared to TooT-BERT-T, respe...

Concentration of inverted repeats along human DNA
J Integr Bioinform. 2023 Jul 25. doi: 10.1515/jib-2022-0052. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis work aims to describe the observed enrichment of inverted repeats in the human genome; and to identify and describe, with detailed length profiles, the regions with significant and relevant enriched occurrence of inverted repeats. The enrichment is assessed and tested with a recently proposed measure (z-scores based measure). We simulate a genome using an order 7 Markov model trained with the data from the real genome. The simulated genome is used to establish the critical values which are used as decision thresholds to identify...
