Abstract

1. Descriptions are given of two ways for fitting non-linear equations by least-squares criteria to experimental data. One depends on solving a set of non-linear simultaneous equations, and the other on Taylor's theorem. 2. It is shown that better parameter estimates result when an equation with two or more non-linear parameters is fitted to all the sets of data simultaneously than when it is fitted to each set in turn.

How not to be seen: predicting unseen enzyme functions using contrastive learning.

MOTIVATION: Predicting enzyme function from its sequence is still an unsolved problem in the life sciences. Moreover, with the explosion of annotated genome data, we are inundated with potential enzymatic sequences that have not yet been biochemically characterized. While it is not possible to assign a not-yet-existing label to such a sequence, there is high value in placing the sequence as accurately as possible in known function space. Doing so can help provide more accurate falsifiable hypotheses for experimentalists wishing to characterize enzymes from specific functional families. RESULTS: Here we present a contrastive learning algorithm for predicting enzyme function from sequence. Our method, EnzPlacer, predicts the third, second, and first EC numbers for a protein whose fourth EC number is not in the training corpus. This novel prediction mechanism accurately places a protein sequence within a narrowed-down functional context, even if the precise function remains unknown. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: EnzPlacer and data is available at https://github.com/drxiangma/EnzPlacer under a GPL3 license.
