ABSTRACT
Understanding a protein's function based solely on its amino acid sequence is a crucial but intricate task in bioinformatics. Traditionally, this challenge has proven difficult. However, recent years have witnessed the rise of deep learning as a powerful tool, achieving significant success in protein function prediction. Their strength lies in their ability to automatically learn informative features from protein sequences, which can then be used to predict the protein's function. This study builds upon these advancements by proposing a novel model CNN-CBAM+BiGRU. It incorporates a Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) alongside BiGRUs. CBAM acts as a spotlight, guiding the CNN to focus on the most informative parts of the protein data, leading to more accurate feature extraction. BiGRUs, a type of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), excel at capturing long-range dependencies within the protein sequence, which are essential for accurate function prediction. The proposed model integrates the strengths of both CNN-CBAM and BiGRU. This study's findings, validated through experimentation, showcase the effectiveness of this combined approach. For the human dataset, the suggested method outperforms the CNN-BIGRU+ATT model by +1.0â¯% for cellular components, +1.1â¯% for molecular functions, and +0.5â¯% for biological processes. For the yeast dataset, the suggested method outperforms the CNN-BIGRU+ATT model by +2.4â¯% for the cellular component, +1.2â¯% for molecular functions, and +0.6â¯% for biological processes.
