Binding Ligand Prediction for Proteins Using Partial Matching of Local Surface Patches
Functional elucidation of uncharacterized protein structures is an important task in bioinformatics. We report our new approach for structure-based function prediction which captures local surface features of ligand binding pockets. Function of proteins, specifically, binding ligands of proteins, can be predicted by finding similar local surface regions of known proteins. To enable partial comp...
متن کاملNSiteMatch: Prediction of Binding Sites of Nucleotides by Identifying the Structure Similarity of Local Surface Patches
Nucleotides play a central role in life-form metabolism, by interacting with proteins and mediating the function of proteins. It is estimated that nucleotides constitute about 15% of the biologically relevant ligands included in PDB. Prediction of binding sites of nucleotides is useful in understanding the function of proteins and can facilitate the in silico design of drugs. In this study, we ...
متن کاملSpecific ion binding to nonpolar surface patches of proteins.
Employing detailed atomistic modeling we study the mechanisms behind ion binding to proteins and other biomolecules and conclude that (1) small, hard ions bind via direct ion pairing to charged surface groups and (2) large, soft ions bind to nonpolar groups via a solvent assisted attraction. Our predictions are in qualitative agreement with bulk solution data and may provide an important clue f...
متن کاملDetecting local ligand-binding site similarity in nonhomologous proteins by surface patch comparison.
Functional elucidation of proteins is one of the essential tasks in biology. Function of a protein, specifically, small ligand molecules that bind to a protein, can be predicted by finding similar local surface regions in binding sites of known proteins. Here, we developed an alignment free local surface comparison method for predicting a ligand molecule which binds to a query protein. The algo...
متن کاملLigand-binding Residue Prediction
In this chapter, we explore means for predicting protein residues that interact with small molecules. We will motivate the problem by describing potential uses for such information and proceed to discuss methods advanced for prediction. We describe our sequence-based approach and contrast it with another current methodwhich relies on predicted protein structure to help identify ligand-binding r...
