title = "Signal peptide prediction in single transmembrane proteins using the continuous wavelet transform",
abstract = "The signal peptide (SP) is directly associated with a protein's translocation across biological membranes and consequently with the expression of its functional role. A scheme of predicting the exact position of the SP within a protein is proposed in this work, by applying the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) to the hydrophobic sequence of the protein. The scheme was developed with regard to proteins of known structure extracted from public available databases. The results have verified the effectiveness of the method, which is comparable to existing methods, thus revealing a novel and fast approach to the prediction of SP in single transmembrane proteins, with a prospect of a generalized application.",
