Abstract

In this short review paper, the significant and profound impacts of the protein subcellular prediction have been briefly presented with crystal clear convincingness.

Keywords

Proteins, Subcellular Locations, Multiple Site Samples, Significant Impacts, Profound Impacts

The first paper introducing the protein subcellular location prediction was in 2005 [1]. It has stimulated a series of followed-up publications [2] - [10], particularly for those proteins with multiple location sites [11] - [18], as well as the eight master pieces of papers from the then Chairman of Nobel Prize Committee Sture Forsen [19] - [26].

It is indeed very significant by introducing the intriguing approach to deal with those proteins with multiple location sites, and it is indeed very profound and stimulating in this regard (see, e.g., [27] - [46] ).
