چکیده

The goal of the proposed project is to develop an algorithm for predicting the molecular function of a protein from a structural model of its active sites. Given the 3D atomic coordinates for a novel protein and the location of a ligand binding site, we build a model of the site cavity, match it against a database of active sites models having known molecular functions, and make predictions based on the functional annotations associated with the best matches.

Automatic classification of highly related Malate Dehydrogenase and L-Lactate Dehydrogenase based on 3D-pattern of active sites

Accurate protein function prediction is an important subject in bioinformatics, especially wheresequentially and structurally similar proteins have different functions. Malate dehydrogenaseand L-lactate dehydrogenase are two evolutionary related enzymes, which exist in a widevariety of organisms. These enzymes are sequentially and structurally similar and sharecommon active site residues, spati...

Method for prediction of protein function from sequence using the sequence-to-structure-to-function paradigm with application to glutaredoxins/thioredoxins and T1 ribonucleases.

The practical exploitation of the vast numbers of sequences in the genome sequence databases is crucially dependent on the ability to identify the function of each sequence. Unfortunately, current methods, including global sequence alignment and local sequence motif identification, are limited by the extent of sequence similarity between sequences of unknown and known function; these methods in...

In Silico Prediction and Docking of Tertiary Structure of Multifunctional Protein X of Hepatitis B Virus

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a universal health problem and may result into acute, fulminant, chronic hepatitis liver cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma. Sequence for protein X of HBV was retrieved from Uniprot database. ProtParam from ExPAsy server was used to investigate the physicochemical properties of the protein. Homology modeling was carried out using Phyre2 server, and refin...

A Novel QSAR Model for the Evaluation and Prediction of (E)-N’-Benzylideneisonicotinohydrazide Derivatives as the Potent Anti-mycobacterium Tuberculosis Antibodies Using Genetic Function Approach

Abstract A dataset of (E)-N’-benzylideneisonicotinohydrazide derivatives as a potent anti-mycobacterium tuberculosis has been investigated utilizing Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) techniques. Genetic Function Algorithm (GFA) and Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA) were used to select the descriptors and to generate the correlation QSAR models that relate the Mi...

Protein Function Prediction by Matching 3D Structural Data

Active sites determine the activities and interactions of proteins and constitute the targets of most drugs. However, the exponential growth in the amount of structural data of proteins far exceeds the ability of experimental techniques to identify the locations and key amino acids of active sites. Several approaches have been applied to this problem, including analyzing gene expression pattern...
