A Protocol for Computer-Based Protein Structure and Function Prediction
Published on: November 3, 2011
Abstract:
This paper is devoted to a computer system designed for formal description and knowledge about protein structural-functional determinants. Structural-functional determinant is a region of amino acid sequence with certain structural, functional or evolutionary properties specific for each class of macromolecules. Here the problem is solved by a special method which allows to design programs able to distinguish these structural-functional determinants. The method is based on the expert system technology and integrated data bases.
