  • Title: Identifying essential proteins using modified-monkey algorithm (MMA).
    Author: Payra AK, Ghosh A.
    Journal: Comput Biol Chem; 2020 Oct; 88():107324. PubMed ID: 32623358.
    Abstract:
    Proteins are the most essential macromolecules needed for the normal flow of life. Essential proteins play a key role to control other proteins in an interaction network for the growth and understanding of the molecular mechanism of cellular life. Though there are many computational algorithms for essential drug discovery depending on nature of essential proteins, but still lots of improvements and optimizations are required. In this work, modified-Monkey algorithm (MMA) is proposed for the identification of essential proteins in protein-protein interaction network (PPIN). Nature of a monkey can be distinctly described in three processes like climb, watch-jump, and somersault in different problem spaces. These processes of monkey traversal are plotted in PPIN with objective to find out essential proteins. Performance of MMA is assessed with other existing essential protein prediction methodologies, including Eigenvector Centrality (EC), Betweenness Centrality (BC), Network Centrality (NC) and others also. The proposed methodology has achieved higher success rates in comparison to the existing state-of-art model.
