Prediction of Protein Binding Sites by Combining Several Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have combined four different methods for the prediction of binding sites in proteins. The methods used included: data mining approach by Support Vector Machines, threading through protein structures, prediction of conserved residues on the protein surface by analysis of phylogenetic trees, and the Conservatism of Conservatism method of Mirny and Shakhnovich. We have combined all these methods together by developing consensus predictions. Our results show that the combination of all methods improves the accuracy of prediction over the accuracies of prediction of individual methods.

The drugs' activities were analyzed according to their docking scores, binding sites and structural descriptors. ...
متن کاملComputational Prediction of RNA-Binding Proteins and Binding Sites.
Proteins and RNA interaction have vital roles in many cellular processes such as protein synthesis, sequence encoding, RNA transfer, and gene regulation at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Approximately 6%-8% of all proteins are RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Distinguishing these RBPs or their binding residues is a major aim of structural biology. Previously, a number of exper...
