Integrative support vector machine for the prediction of zinc-binding sites in proteins
نویسنده
چکیده
Zinc binding proteins play an important role in biological function, many researches focus on the area of zinc-binding sites. Taking into account the advantages of support vector machine, based on the different tools for the prediction of zinc-binding sites, a novel predictor named combZincPred was proposed to integrate these result scores. Tested on a non-redundant dataset, AURPC of our method increased more, and other indexes are also better than the other three predictors. The method can be better used to the inference of zinc-binding protein function.

متن کاملPrediction of zinc-binding sites in proteins from sequence
MOTIVATION Motivated by the abundance, importance and unique functionality of zinc, both biologically and physiologically, we have developed an improved method for the prediction of zinc-binding sites in proteins from their amino acid sequences. RESULTS By combining support vector machine (SVM) and homology-based predictions, our method predicts zinc-binding Cys, His, Asp and Glu with 75% pre...
