Question

Only Advanced neural networks are used to discern long-distance pairwise interactions among cysteine residues.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me during an interview.

This intriguing question originated from Post translational Modification in division Functional Genomics & Proteomics of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(b) False

This statement is false because while advanced neural networks can be used to analyze various types of protein interactions, including long-distance pairwise interactions among cysteine residues, they are not the only method used for this purpose. Other computational methods, such as molecular dynamics simulations, statistical analysis, and other machine learning techniques, can also be used to study protein-protein interactions and post-translational modifications like disulfide bonds formed by cysteine residues. Neural networks are a powerful tool, but they are not the exclusive approach for such analyses.

So, the answer is (b) False.
