Protein Contact Map Denoising Using Generative Adversarial Networks
2020
Protein residue-residue contact prediction from protein sequence information has undergone substantial improvement in the past few years, which has made it a critical driving force for building correct protein tertiary structure models. Improving accuracy of contact predictions has, therefore, become the forefront of protein structure prediction. Here, we show a novel contact map denoising method, ContactGAN, which uses Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) to refine predicted protein contact maps. ContactGAN was able to make a consistent and significant improvement over predictions made by recent contact prediction methods when tested on two datasets including protein structure modeling targets in CASP13. ContactGAN will be a valuable addition in the structure prediction pipeline to achieve an extra gain in contact prediction accuracy.
