MetalDetector v2.0: predicting the geometry of metal binding sites from protein sequence
نویسندگان
چکیده
MetalDetector identifies CYS and HIS involved in transition metal protein binding sites, starting from sequence alone. A major new feature of release 2.0 is the ability to predict which residues are jointly involved in the coordination of the same metal ion. The server is available at http://metaldetector.dsi.unifi.it/v2.0/.

MetalDetector: a web server for predicting metal-binding sites and disulfide bridges in proteins from sequence
UNLABELLED The web server MetalDetector classifies histidine residues in proteins into one of two states (free or metal bound) and cysteines into one of three states (free, metal bound or disulfide bridged). A decision tree integrates predictions from two previously developed methods (DISULFIND and Metal Ligand Predictor). Cross-validated performance assessment indicates that our server predict...
متن کاملMetal Binding in Proteins: Machine Learning Complements X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy
We present an application of machine learning algorithms for the identification of metalloproteins and metal binding sites on a genome scale. An extensive evaluation conducted in combination with Xray absorption spectroscopy shows the great potentiality of the approach. 1 Metal binding in proteins A significant fraction of known proteins is believed to bind metal ions in their native conformati...
متن کاملPredicting the Geometry of Metal Binding Sites from Protein Sequence
Metal binding is important for the structural and functional characterization of proteins. Previous prediction efforts have only focused on bonding state, i.e. deciding which protein residues act as metal ligands in some binding site. Identifying the geometry of metal-binding sites, i.e. deciding which residues are jointly involved in the coordination of a metal ion is a new prediction problem ...
متن کاملCharacterization of metalloproteins by high-throughput X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
High-throughput X-ray absorption spectroscopy was used to measure transition metal content based on quantitative detection of X-ray fluorescence signals for 3879 purified proteins from several hundred different protein families generated by the New York SGX Research Center for Structural Genomics. Approximately 9% of the proteins analyzed showed the presence of transition metal atoms (Zn, Cu, N...
متن کاملPredicting Metal-Binding Sites of Protein Residues
Metal ions in protein are critical to the function, structure and stability of protein. For this reason accurate prediction of metal binding sites in protein is very important. Here, we present our study which is performed for predicting metal binding sites for histidines (HIS) and cysteines from protein sequence. Three different methods are applied for this task: Support Vector Machine (SVM), ...
