3DLigandSite: predicting ligand-binding sites using similar structures
3DLigandSite is a web server for the prediction of ligand-binding sites. It is based upon successful manual methods used in the eighth round of the Critical Assessment of techniques for protein Structure Prediction (CASP8). 3DLigandSite utilizes protein-structure prediction to provide structural models for proteins that have not been solved. Ligands bound to structures similar to the query are ...
متن کاملPrediction of Ligand Binding sites in RNA binding protein Pockets using support vector machines
RNA-binding proteins play a significant role in pattern regulation of gene expression during developmental phases. Therefore in order to facilitate our understanding of organism development there is a continuous need to develop an extensive a priori method for the prediction of RNA-binding protein pockets. We present here a SVM (Support Vector Machine) based approach for successful prediction o...
متن کاملProtein-Protein Binding-Sites Prediction by Protein Surface Structure Conservation
A new algorithm to predict protein-protein binding sites using conservation of both protein surface structure and physical-chemical properties in structurally similar proteins is developed. Binding-site residues in proteins are known to be more conserved than the rest of the surface, and finding local surface similarities by comparing a protein to its structural neighbors can potentially reveal...
متن کاملPrediction And Modelling Of Ligand-Binding Sites Using An Integrated Voxel Method
The interaction between proteins and their binding agents take place on surfaces and involve factors such as chemical and shape complementarity. It was shown in past studies that protein-protein interactions involve flatter regions whereas protein-ligand bindings are associated with crevices. Many approaches have been implemented which focus on the identification of such sites using various mea...
متن کاملPrediction of transition metal-binding sites from apo protein structures.
Metal ions are crucial for protein function. They participate in enzyme catalysis, play regulatory roles, and help maintain protein structure. Current tools for predicting metal-protein interactions are based on proteins crystallized with their metal ions present (holo forms). However, a majority of resolved structures are free of metal ions (apo forms). Moreover, metal binding is a dynamic pro...
