Ligand-binding site prediction of proteins based on known fragment–fragment interactions
MOTIVATION The identification of putative ligand-binding sites on proteins is important for the prediction of protein function. Knowledge-based approaches using structure databases have become interesting, because of the recent increase in structural information. Approaches using binding motif information are particularly effective. However, they can only be applied to well-known ligands that f...
متن کاملLigand-binding site prediction using ligand-interacting and binding site-enriched protein triangles
MOTIVATION Knowledge about the site at which a ligand binds provides an important clue for predicting the function of a protein and is also often a prerequisite for performing docking computations in virtual drug design and screening. We have previously shown that certain ligand-interacting triangles of protein atoms, called protein triangles, tend to occur more frequently at ligand-binding sit...
متن کاملComputational allosteric ligand binding site identification on Ras proteins.
A number of computational techniques have been proposed to expedite the process of allosteric ligand binding site identification in inherently flexible and hence challenging drug targets. Some of these techniques have been instrumental in the discovery of allosteric ligand binding sites on Ras proteins, a group of elusive anticancer drug targets. This review provides an overview of these techni...
متن کاملProteins and Their Interacting Partners: An Introduction to Protein–Ligand Binding Site Prediction Methods
Elucidating the biological and biochemical roles of proteins, and subsequently determining their interacting partners, can be difficult and time consuming using in vitro and/or in vivo methods, and consequently the majority of newly sequenced proteins will have unknown structures and functions. However, in silico methods for predicting protein-ligand binding sites and protein biochemical functi...
متن کاملLocalization of ligand binding site in proteins identified in silico.
Knowledge-based models for protein folding assume that the early-stage structural form of a polypeptide is determined by the backbone conformation, followed by hydrophobic collapse. Side chain-side chain interactions, mostly of hydrophobic character, lead to the formation of the hydrophobic core, which seems to stabilize the structure of the protein in its natural environment. The fuzzy-oil-dro...
