Reduced bio-basis function neural networks for protease cleavage site prediction.
This paper presents a new neural learning algorithm for protease cleavage site prediction. The basic idea is to replace the radial basis function used in radial basis function neural networks by a so-called bio-basis function using amino acid similarity matrices. Mutual information is used to select bio-bases and a corresponding selection algorithm is developed. The algorithm has been applied to the prediction of HIV and Hepatitis C virus protease cleavage sites in proteins with success.
