Deep hierarchical embedding for simultaneous modeling of GPCR proteins in a unified metric space

Abstract GPCR proteins belong to diverse families of proteins that are defined at multiple hierarchical levels. Inspecting relationships between GPCR proteins on the hierarchical structure is important, since characteristics of the protein can be inferred from proteins in similar hierarchical inform...
