TABLE III.
Performance comparison between our proposed method and malopred [37], kmal-sp [39] for predicting the malonylation sites of the individual species (homo sapiens, mus musculus) and total species (six species) based on the independent test.
| Method | Species | Sensitivity | Specificity | F1-score | ACC | MCC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mal-Light | Homo sapiens | 78.26% | 95.05% | 0.85 | 86.66% | 0.74 |
| MaloPred [37] | 82.90% | 82.40% | 0.82 | 82.70% | 0.65 | |
| kmal-sp [39] | 84.90% | 87.00% | 0.85 | 86.00% | 0.72 | |
| Mal-Light | Mus musculus | 67.27% | 91.75% | 0.76 | 79.51% | 0.60 |
| MaloPred [37] | 80.60% | 79.70% | 0.80 | 80.20% | 0.60 | |
| kmal-sp [39] | 82.90% | 83.70% | 0.83 | 83.30% | 0.66 | |
| Mal-Light | Altogether (six species) | 68.38% | 96.34% | 0.79 | 82.36% | 0.67 |

Note: Due to the insufficient number of Escherichia coli species in our dataset, we did not take this species to in comparision.
