AAindex: amino acid index database, progress report 2008

چکیده
AAindex is a database of numerical indices representing various physicochemical and biochemical properties of amino acids and pairs of amino acids. We have added a collection of protein contact potentials to the AAindex as a new section. Accordingly AAindex consists of three sections now: AAindex1 for the amino acid index of 20 numerical values, AAindex2 for the amino acid substitution matrix and AAindex3 for the statistical protein contact potentials. All data are derived from published literature. The database can be accessed through the DBGET/LinkDB system at GenomeNet (http://www.genome.jp/dbget-bin/www_bfind?aaindex) or downloaded by anonymous FTP (ftp://ftp.genome.jp/pub/db/community/aaindex/).

AAindex: Amino Acid index database
AAindex is a database of amino acid indices and amino acid mutation matrices. An amino acid index is a set of 20 numerical values representing various physico--chemical and biochemical properties of amino acids. An amino acid mutation matrix is generally 20 x 20 numerical values representing similarity of amino acids. AAindex consists of two sections: AAindex1 for the collection of published am...
متن کاملUsing Chou’s Pseudo Amino Acid Composition for Protein Remote Homology Detection
Protein remote homology detection is a key problem in bioinformatics. Currently, the discriminative methods, such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), can achieve the best performance. The most efficient approach to improve the performance of the SVM-based methods is to find a general protein representation method that is able to convert proteins with different lengths into fixed length vectors and...
متن کاملPredicting the protein SUMO modification sites based on Properties Sequential Forward Selection (PSFS).
Protein SUMO modification is an important post-translational modification and the optimization of prediction methods remains a challenge. Here, by using Support Vector Machines algorithm (SVM), a novel computational method was developed for SUMO modification site prediction based on Sequential Forward Selection (SFS) of hundreds of amino acid properties, which are collected by Amino Acid Index ...
متن کاملProtein Interface Residues Prediction Based on Amino Acid Properties Only
Protein-protein interactions play essential roles in protein function implementation. A computational model is introduced in this work for predicting protein interface residues based on amino acid chemicophysical properties only. 17 amino acid properties are selected from AAindex database and used as input features of a prediction model which is constructed by support vector machines method to ...
متن کاملThe Chaotic Structure of Bacterial Virulence Protein Sequences
Bacterial virulence proteins, which have been classified on structure of virulence, causes several diseases. For instance, Adhesins play an important role in the host cells. They are inserted DNA sequences for a variety of virulence properties. Several important methods conducted for the prediction of bacterial virulence proteins for finding new drugs or vaccines. In this study, we propose a me...
