DeepProtein: Deep Learning Library and Benchmark for Protein Sequence Learning

In recent years, deep learning has revolutionized the field of protein science, enabling advancements in predicting protein properties, structural folding and interactions. This paper presents DeepProtein, a comprehensive and user-friendly deep learning library specifically designed for protein-related tasks. DeepProtein integrates a couple of state-of-the-art neural network architectures, which include convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), transformer, graph neural network (GNN), and graph transformer (GT). It provides user-friendly interfaces, facilitating domain researchers in applying deep learning techniques to protein data. Also, we curate a benchmark that evaluates these neural architectures on a variety of protein tasks, including protein function prediction, protein localization prediction, and protein-protein interaction prediction, showcasing its superior performance and scalability. Additionally, we provide detailed documentation and tutorials to promote accessibility and encourage reproducible research. This is a library that is extended from a well-known drug discovery library, DeepPurpose. The library is publicly available athttps://anonymous.4open.science/r/DeepProtein-F8FE.
