Prediction of protein structural classes based on feature selection technique

The prediction of protein structural classes is beneficial to understanding folding patterns, functions and interactions of proteins. In this study, we proposed a feature selection-based method to accurately predict protein structural classes. Three datasets with sequence identity lower than 25% were used to test the prediction performance of the method. Through jackknife cross-validation, we have verified that the overall accuracies of these three datasets are 92.1%, 89.7% and 84.0%, respectively. The proposed method is more efficient and accurate than other existing methods. The present study will offer an excellent alternative to other methods for predicting protein structural classes.
