PIPENN-EMB ensemble net and protein embeddings generalise protein interface prediction beyond homology by David P. G. Thomas, Carlos M. Garcia Fernandez, Reza Haydarlou, K. Anton Feenstra

“…We showcase predictions on 25 resistance-related proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Furthermore, whereas other state-of-the-art sequence-based methods perform worse for proteins that have little recognisable homology in their training data, PIPENN-EMB generalises to remote homologs, yielding stable AUROC across all three test sets with less than 30% sequence identity to the training dataset, and even to proteins with less than 15% sequence identity.…”
