Abstract
- Disordered regions of proteins are highly abundant in various biological processes, involving regulation and signaling and also in relation with cancer, cardiovascular, autoimmune diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. Hence, recognizing disordered regions in proteins is a critical task. In this paper, we presented a new feature encoding technique built from physicochemical properties of residues selected as per the chaotic structure of related protein sequence. Our feature vector has been tested with various classification algorithms on an up-to-date data set and also compared to other methods. The proposed method shows better classification performance than many methods in terms of accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. Our results suggest that the new method that links the residues and their physicochemical properties using Lyapunov exponents is highly effective in recognition of disordered regions.
