Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a fold-independent method for predicting and characterizing enzyme catalytic sites.
  • To identify functionally important protein surfaces and key catalytic residues.

Main Methods:

  • Extracting atomic patterns of catalytic residues in geometrically computed surface pockets.
  • Developing a library of atomic patterns from ~700 protein structures.
  • Integrating secondary structure propensities and active site residue occurrence data.
