Abstract:
  • Proteins play crucial roles in various biological processes by interacting with other molecules, primarily other proteins. These interactions are essential for cellular pathways and life maintenance. Predicting protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is challenging but vital for understanding cellular functions and disease mechanisms. To address this challenge, this article proposes BioPrediction-PPI, an end-to-end framework for predicting protein-protein interactions. The objective is to provide a tool that simplifies predicting PPIs by automating an end-to-end Machine Learning (ML) pipeline, eliminating the need for manual intervention. BioPrediction-PPI automates the entire ML process, from feature extraction to interpretability, ensuring a user-friendly experience accessible to researchers without specialized expertise. The performance of BioPrediction-PPI was evaluated through comparative experiments with other tools mentioned in the literature, using different datasets. Some experiments follow methodologies similar to those used in previous studies. The results indicate a favorable trend for BioPrediction-PPI, demonstrating competitiveness against 21 other ML models. Notably, BioPrediction-PPI outperforms the standard model in 8 out of 8 human-virus datasets. Therefore, its user-friendly nature and competitive performance make it a promising tool for democratizing ML model building in biology and related fields. This accessibility and effectiveness could significantly accelerate research and development in understanding protein-protein interactions, benefiting biological research and related applications.
