# Protein Data Stability - Single Mutation

This repository contains data on the change in protein stability with a single mutation.

There are two datasets:
- [Sample dataset, ~100 datapoints](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Trelis/protein_stability_single_mutation_SAMPLE).
- [Gated dataset, ~250k datapoints](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Trelis/protein_stability_single_mutation).

As to where the dataset comes from in this broader work, the relevant dataset (#3) is shown in `dataset_table.jpeg` of this repository's files.

## Dataset Structure

The dataset focuses on the differential deltaG of *unfolding* (mutation minus base) of various protein mutations.

- **Base Protein Sequence** (`aa_seq`): A (sometimes shortened) amino acid sequence.
- **Mutation**: Represented as a combination of amino acid and its position (e.g., F10N indicates changing the 10th amino acid (F) in a sequence for N).
- **delta deltaG** (`ddG_ML`): Derived from a model that makes use of stability measurements (free energy of unfolding) measured by two proteases, trypsin and chymotrypsin.
- **Classification**: Classification is done purely on the basis of ddG.
-- Rows below -0.5 standard deviations are classified as 'destabilising'
-- Rows above +0.5 standard deviations are classified as 'stabilising'
-- Rows between -0.5 and 0.5 standard deviations are classified as 'neutral'
  
### Understanding ΔG (delta G)

ΔG is the Gibbs free energy change of a process, dictating whether a process is thermodynamically favorable:

- **Negative ΔG**: Indicates the process is energetically favorable. For protein unfolding, it implies the protein is more stable in its unfolded form.
- **Positive ΔG**: Indicates the process is not energetically favorable. In protein unfolding, it means the protein requires energy to maintain its unfolded state, i.e. it is stable in folded form.

The **delta delta G** (ΔΔG) represents the deltaG of the mutation compared to the base protein:

- **Positive ΔΔG**: Suggests the mutation enhances protein stability.
- **Negative ΔΔG**: Suggests the mutation decreases protein stability.

### Data Cleanup and Validation:

1. Filtering: The dataset has been curated to only include examples of single mutations.
2. Sequence mutations were extracted from the row names. Base mutations are labelled as 'base'.
3. Consistency Check: Only rows with a consistent 'mutation', aligned with both the base and mutated sequences from the raw data, have been retained.
