Abstract:
Automatic access to information regarding macromolecular binding relationships would provide a valuable resource to the biomedical community. We report on a pilot project to mine such information from the molecular biology literature. The program being developed takes advantage of natural language processing techniques and is supported by two repositories of biomolecular knowledge. A formative evaluation has been conducted on a subset of MEDLINE abstracts.

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
