Predicting small ligand binding sites in proteins using backbone structure
MOTIVATION Specific non-covalent binding of metal ions and ligands, such as nucleotides and cofactors, is essential for the function of many proteins. Computational methods are useful for predicting the location of such binding sites when experimental information is lacking. Methods that use structural information, when available, are particularly promising since they can potentially identify n...
متن کاملPredicting in vivo binding sites of RNA-binding proteins using mRNA secondary structure.
While many RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) bind RNA in a sequence-specific manner, their sequence preferences alone do not distinguish known target RNAs from other potential targets that are coexpressed and contain the same sequence motifs. Recently, the mRNA targets of dozens of RNA-binding proteins have been identified, facilitating a systematic study of the features of target transcripts. Using ...
متن کامل3DLigandSite: 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 کاملPredicting Protein Ligand Binding Sites by Combining Evolutionary Sequence Conservation and 3D Structure
Identifying a protein's functional sites is an important step towards characterizing its molecular function. Numerous structure- and sequence-based methods have been developed for this problem. Here we introduce ConCavity, a small molecule binding site prediction algorithm that integrates evolutionary sequence conservation estimates with structure-based methods for identifying protein surface c...
متن کاملThe automatic search for ligand binding sites in proteins of known three-dimensional structure using only geometric criteria.
The biological function of a protein typically depends on the structure of specific binding sites. These sites are located at the surface of the protein molecule and are determined by geometrical arrangements and physico-chemical properties of tens of non-hydrogen atoms. In this paper we describe a new algorithm called APROPOS, based purely on geometric criteria for identifying such binding sit...
