A single amino acid mutation can have a significant impact on the stability of protein structure. Thus, the prediction of protein stability change induced by single site mutations is critical and useful for studying protein function and structure. Here, we presented a new deep learning network with the dropout technique for predicting protein stability changes upon single amino acid substitution. While using only protein sequence as input, the overall prediction accuracy of the method on a…

Prediction of stability changes upon single-site mutations using database-derived potentials

Results show that the relative weight of non-local interactions along the sequence decreases as the solvent accessibility of the mutated residue increases, and vanishes at the protein surface, and on the contrary, the weight of local interactions increases with solvent accessibility.
