Saima Khan, Saifuddin Md. Tareeq . Protein Function Prediction using Nearer Neighbor Proteins Interactions. International Journal of Computer Applications. 186, 17 ( Apr 2024), 15-22. DOI=10.5120/ijca2024923555
Protein is one of the most important elements of life. It is responsible for structuring organs, regulating various activities of human body, transporting materials throughout the body etc.Wet lab based experiments for determining protein functions are time consuming, difficult and expensive. Computational methods have got high demands in predicting the functions of proteins because these methods save a significant amount of time and are easier and less expensive than wet lab-based experiments. There are various approaches of predicting protein functions using computational methods. In this study, a novel idea has been proposed to predict the functions of proteins using protein-protein interaction network. This method is based on k-means clustering algorithm, nearer neighbor proteins functions and also the common neighbor proteins functions.
