Active site prediction using evolutionary and structural information
MOTIVATION The identification of catalytic residues is a key step in understanding the function of enzymes. While a variety of computational methods have been developed for this task, accuracies have remained fairly low. The best existing method exploits information from sequence and structure to achieve a precision (the fraction of predicted catalytic residues that are catalytic) of 18.5% at a...
متن کاملCombining evolutionary and structural information for local protein structure prediction.
We study the effects of various factors in representing and combining evolutionary and structural information for local protein structural prediction based on fragment selection. We prepare databases of fragments from a set of non-redundant protein domains. For each fragment, evolutionary information is derived from homologous sequences and represented as estimated effective counts and frequenc...
متن کاملPrediction of the phenotypic effects of non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms using structural and evolutionary information
MOTIVATION There has been great expectation that the knowledge of an individual's genotype will provide a basis for assessing susceptibility to diseases and designing individualized therapy. Non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) that lead to an amino acid change in the protein product are of particular interest because they account for nearly half of the known genetic variatio...
متن کاملEnhancing Protein Fold Prediction Accuracy Using Evolutionary and Structural Features
Protein fold recognition (PFR) is considered as an important step towards the protein structure prediction problem. It also provides crucial information about the functionality of the proteins. Despite all the efforts that have been made during the past two decades, finding an accurate and fast computational approach to solve PFR still remains a challenging problem for bioinformatics and comput...
متن کاملBinding site prediction of galanin peptide using evolutionary trace method
Galanin is a neuropeptide with aminoacid length ranging from 29 to 31 is widely distributed in central and peripheral nervous system. Galanin controls various psychological processes such as sensation of pain, learning, feeding, and sexual behaviour. The N-terminal region of this neuropeptide has highly conserved 15 amino acids, which is triggered by galanin receptors. We performed evolutionary...
