The basic issue concerning the construction of neural network systems for protein classification is the sequence encoding scheme that must be used in order to feed the network. To deal with this problem we propose a method that maps a protein sequence into a numerical feature space using the matching local scores of the sequence to groups of conserved patterns (called motifs). We consider two alternative schemes for discovering a group of D motifs within a set of K-class sequences. We also evaluate the impact of the background features (2-grams) to the performance of the neural system. Experimental results on real datasets indicate that the proposed method is superior to other known protein classification approaches. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
