Prediction of disulfide bond engineering sites using a machine learning method.

ABSTRACT: Disulfide bonds are covalently bonded sulfur atoms from cysteine pairs in protein structures. Due to the importance of disulfide bonds in protein folding and structural stability, artificial disulfide bonds are often engineered by cysteine mutation to enhance protein structural stability. To facilitate the experimental design, we implemented a method based on neural networks to predict amino acid pairs for cysteine mutations to form engineered disulfide bonds. The designed neural network was trained with high-resolution structures curated from the Protein Data Bank. The testing results reveal that the proposed method recognizes 99% of natural disulfide bonds. In the test with engineered disulfide bonds, the algorithm achieves similar accuracy levels with other state-of-the-art algorithms in published dataset and better performance for two comprehensively studied proteins with 70% accuracy, demonstrating potential applications in protein engineering. The neural network framework allows exploiting the full features in distance space, and therefore improves accuracy of the disulfide bond engineering site prediction.

Project description:Cyber-attacks have become one of the biggest problems of the world. They cause serious financial damages to countries and people every day. The increase in cyber-attacks also brings along cyber-crime. The key factors in the fight against crime and criminals are identifying the perpetrators of cyber-crime and understanding the methods of attack. Detecting and avoiding cyber-attacks are difficult tasks. However, researchers have recently been solving these problems by developing security models and making predictions through artificial intelligence methods. A high number of methods of crime prediction are available in the literature. On the other hand, they suffer from a deficiency in predicting cyber-crime and cyber-attack methods. This problem can be tackled by identifying an attack and the perpetrator of such attack, using actual data. The data include the type of crime, gender of perpetrator, damage and methods of attack. The data can be acquired from the applications of the persons who were exposed to cyber-attacks to the forensic units. In this paper, we analyze cyber-crimes in two different models with machine-learning methods and predict the effect of the defined features on the detection of the cyber-attack method and the perpetrator. We used eight machine-learning methods in our approach and concluded that their accuracy ratios were close. The Support Vector Machine Linear was found out to be the most successful in the cyber-attack method, with an accuracy rate of 95.02%. In the first model, we could predict the types of attacks that the victims were likely to be exposed to with a high accuracy. The Logistic Regression was the leading method in detecting attackers with an accuracy rate of 65.42%. In the second model, we predicted whether the perpetrators could be identified by comparing their characteristics. Our results have revealed that the probability of cyber-attack decreases as the education and income level of victim increases. We believe that cyber-crime units will use the proposed model. It will also facilitate the detection of cyber-attacks and make the fight against these attacks easier and more effective.
