A sparse autoencoder-based deep neural network for protein solvent accessibility and contact number prediction

Abstract Background Direct prediction of the three-dimensional (3D) structures of proteins from one-dimensional (1D) sequences is a challenging problem. Significant structural characteristics such as solvent accessibility and contact number are essential for deriving restrains in modeling protein fo...
