ProtDCal-Suite: A web server for the numerical codification and functional analysis of proteins.

ABSTRACT: Computational tools for the analysis of protein data and the prediction of biological properties are essential in life sciences and biomedical research. Here, we introduce ProtDCal-Suite, a web server comprising a set of machine learning-based methods for studying proteins. The main module of ProtDCal-Suite is the ProtDCal software. ProtDCal translates the structural information of proteins into numerical descriptors that serve as input to machine-learning techniques. The ProtDCal-Suite server also incorporates a post-processing optional stage that allows ranking and filtering the obtained descriptors by computing their Shannon entropy values across the input set of proteins. ProtDCal's codification was used in the development of models for the prediction of specific protein properties. Th
