PSP_MCSVM: brainstorming consensus prediction of protein secondary structures using two-stage multiclass support vector machines

Secondary structure prediction is a crucial task for understanding the variety of protein structures and performed biological functions. Prediction of secondary structures for new proteins using their amino acid sequences is of fundamental importance in bioinformatics. We propose a novel technique to predict protein secondary structures based on position-specific scoring matrices (PSSMs) and ph...
