Predicting ATP binding sites in protein sequences using Deep Learning
  and Natural Language Processing
Shreyas V Swati Agarwal
Predicting ATP-Protein Binding sites in genes is of great significance in the
field of Biology and Medicine. The majority of research in this field has been
conducted through time- and resource-intensive 'wet experiments' in
laboratories. Over the years, researchers have been investigating computational
methods computational methods to accomplish the same goals, utilising the
strength of advanced Deep Learning and NLP algorithms. In this paper, we
propose to develop methods to classify ATP-Protein binding sites. We conducted
various experiments mainly using PSSMs and several word embeddings as features.
We used 2D CNNs and LightGBM classifiers as our chief Deep Learning Algorithms.
The MP3Vec and BERT models have also been subjected to testing in our study.
The outcomes of our experiments demonstrated improvement over the
state-of-the-art benchmarks.
