Caveat
Application scope: MemType-2L is a 2-layer predictor for predicting membrane protein types, the first layer will predict whether the query sequence belongs to membrane proteins or not; and the second layer aims to predict exactly the membrane protein types when the output of the first layer is "membrane proteins". MemType-2L covers the following 8 membrane types: (1) single-pass type I transmembrane, (2) single-pass type II, (3) single-pass type III, (4)single-pass type IV, (5) multipass transmembrane, (6) lipid-chain-anchored membrane, (7) GPI-anchored membrane, and (8) peripheral membrane. (See the Fig.1 below).
 
 
Figure 1. Schematic illustration to show the 8 types of membrane proteins: (1) type I transmembrane, (2) type II, (3) type III, (4) type IV, (5) multipass transmembrane, (6) lipid-chain-anchored membrane, (7) GPI-anchored membrane, and (8) peripheral membrane. As shown in the figure, types I, II, III, and IV are all of single-pass transmembrane proteins.
