POLAT: Protein function prediction based on soft mask graph network and residue-Label ATtention

MOTIVATION: Elucidating protein function is a central problem in biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Developing computational methods for protein function prediction is critical due to the significant gap between sequence and functional data. Recent advances in protein structure prediction, which strongly correlates with function, make it feasible to use structure to predict function. However, current structure-based methods overlook the fact that individual residues may …
