Protein gamma-turn prediction is useful in protein function studies and experimental design. Several methods for gamma-turn prediction have been developed, but the results were unsatisfactory with Matthew correlation coefficients (MCC) around 0.2-0.4. Hence, it is worthwhile exploring new methods for the prediction. A cutting-edge deep neural network, named Capsule Network (CapsuleNet), provides a new opportunity for gamma-turn prediction. Even when the number of input samples is relatively small, the capsules from CapsuleNet are effective to extract high-level features for classification tasks. Here, we propose a deep inception capsule network for gamma-turn prediction. Its performance on the gamma-turn benchmark GT320 achieved an MCC of 0.45, which significantly outperformed the previous best method with an MCC of 0.38. This is the first gamma-turn prediction method utilizing deep neural networks. Also, to our knowledge, it is the first published bioinformatics application utilizing capsule network, which will provide a useful example for the community.
