Unravelling the human taste receptor interactome: machine learning and molecular modelling insights into protein-protein interactions by Harry Zaverdas, Filip Stojceski, Rocío Romero-Zaliz, Lampros Androutsos, Pantelis Makrygiannis, Lorenzo Pallante, Vanessa Martos, Gianvito Grasso, Marco A. Deriu, Konstantinos Theofilatos, Seferina Mavroudi

“…To this end, we propose a comprehensive machine learning approach to accurately predict and quantify protein-protein interactions using an ensemble evolutionary algorithm. 1,647,374 positive and 894,213 negative experimentally verified protein-protein interactions were mined and characterized using 61 functional orthology, sequence, co-expression and structural features. The binary classifier significantly improved the accuracy of existing methods, reconstructing the full taste receptor interactome and was combined with a regressor that estimates the binding strength of positive interactions. …”
