The holographic bound in physics constrains the complexity of life. The finite storage capability of information in the observable universe requires the protein linguistics in the evolution of life. We find that the evolution of genetic code determines the variance of amino acid frequencies and genomic GC content among species. The elegant linguistic mechanism is confirmed by the experimental observations based on all known entire proteomes.

Modeling the effects of mutations on the binding affinity plays a crucial role in protein engineering and drug design. In this study, we develop a novel deep learning based framework, named GraphPPI, to predict the binding affinity changes upon mutat
ions based on the features provided by a graph neural network (GNN). In particular, GraphPPI first employs a well-designed pre-training scheme to enforce the GNN to capture the features that are predictive of the effects of mutations on binding affinity in an unsupervised manner and then integrates these graphical features with gradient-boosting trees to perform the prediction. Experiments showed that, without any annotated signals, GraphPPI can capture meaningful patterns of the protein structures. Also, GraphPPI achieved new state-of-the-art performance in predicting the binding affinity changes upon both single- and multi-point mutations on five benchmark datasets. In-depth analyses also showed GraphPPI can accurately estimate the effects of mutations on the binding affinity between SARS-CoV-2 and its neutralizing antibodies. These results have established GraphPPI as a powerful and useful computational tool in the studies of protein design.
The biological function of a protein stems from its 3-dimensional structure, which is thermodynamically determined by the energetics of interatomic forces between its amino acid building blocks (the order of amino acids, known as the sequence, define
s a protein). Given the costs (time, money, human resources) of determining protein structures via experimental means such as X-ray crystallography, can we better describe and compare protein 3D structures in a robust and efficient manner, so as to gain meaningful biological insights? We begin by considering a relatively simple problem, limiting ourselves to just protein secondary structural elements. Historically, many computational methods have been devised to classify amino acid residues in a protein chain into one of several discrete secondary structures, of which the most well-characterized are the geometrically regular $alpha$-helix and $beta$-sheet; irregular structural patterns, such as turns and loops, are less understood. Here, we present a study of Deep Learning techniques to classify the loop-like end cap structures which delimit $alpha$-helices. Previous work used highly empirical and heuristic methods to manually classify helix capping motifs. Instead, we use structural data directly--including (i) backbone torsion angles computed from 3D structures, (ii) macromolecular feature sets (e.g., physicochemical properties), and (iii) helix cap classification data (from CAPS-DB)--as the ground truth to train a bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) model to classify helix cap residues. We tried different network architectures and scanned hyperparameters in order to train and assess several models; we also trained a Support Vector Classifier (SVC) to use as a baseline. Ultimately, we achieved 85% class-balanced accuracy with a deep BiLSTM model.
Protein secondary structure (SS) prediction is important for studying protein structure and function. When only the sequence (profile) information is used as input feature, currently the best predictors can obtain ~80% Q3 accuracy, which has not been
improved in the past decade. Here we present DeepCNF (Deep Convolutional Neural Fields) for protein SS prediction. DeepCNF is a Deep Learning extension of Conditional Neural Fields (CNF), which is an integration of Conditional Random Fields (CRF) and shallow neural networks. DeepCNF can model not only complex sequence-structure relationship by a deep hierarchical architecture, but also interdependency between adjacent SS labels, so it is much more powerful than CNF. Experimental results show that DeepCNF can obtain ~84% Q3 accuracy, ~85% SOV score, and ~72% Q8 accuracy, respectively, on the CASP and CAMEO test proteins, greatly outperforming currently popular predictors. As a general framework, DeepCNF can be used to predict other protein structure properties such as contact number, disorder regions, and solvent accessibility.
In protein-protein interaction networks certain topological properties appear to be recurrent: networks maps are considered scale-free. It is possible that this topology is reflected in the protein structure. In this paper we investigate the role of
protein disorder in the network topology. We find that the disorder of a protein (or of its neighbors) is independent of its number of protein-protein interactions. This result suggests that protein disorder does not play a role in the scale-free architecture of protein networks.
From the spectral plot of the (normalized) graph Laplacian, the essential qualitative properties of a network can be simultaneously deduced. Given a class of empirical networks, reconstruction schemes for elucidating the evolutionary dynamics leading
to those particular data can then be developed. This method is exemplified for protein-protein interaction networks. Traces of their evolutionary history of duplication and divergence processes are identified. In particular, we can identify typical specific features that robustly distinguish protein-protein interaction networks from other classes of networks, in spite of possible statistical fluctuations of the underlying data.
