  • Publication number: 20200168292
    Abstract: A method includes receiving proteomic data for each of a plurality of identified post-translational modification (PTM) sites.

The method also includes generating a co-PTM network based on each pairwise correlation to describe co PTM characteristics for the identified PTM sites. The method also includes predicting enzyme-substrate associations for each of the plurality of identified PTM sites based on the co-PTM network and a set of predetermined enzyme-substrate associations.
