Computational Analysis: Unveiling the Quantum Algorithms for Protein Analysis and Predictions

Abstract

The study of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and predicting the protein structure plays a critical role in understanding cellular processes and designing therapeutic interventions. In this research, we explore the application of quantum algorithms, specifically Grover’s algorithm, in improving the accuracy and efficiency of PPI prediction. By harnessing the inherent parallelism and quantum search capabilities of Grover’s algorithm, we aim to enhance the identification of interacting protein pairs from large-scale datasets. We demonstrate the effectiveness of using this algorithm through an extensive approach, comparing the performance of Grover’s algorithm with classical machine learning algorithms. Our results reveal that the quantum algorithm offers significant improvements in prediction accuracy, enabling the identification of previously undetected PPIs. Moreover, we discuss the advantages and limitations of using Grover’s algorithm in PPI prediction and provide insights into its potential for accelerating research in protein interaction networks. This research highlights the potential of quantum algorithms in advancing the field of bioinformatics and protein interaction analysis.
