Conserved Binding Sites

5.2K
Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

Main Methods:

  • Training and testing a predictive model on a curated database of enzyme beta-hairpins and non-beta-hairpins.
  • Utilizing the Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR) feature selection technique.
  • Employing the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm for classification.

Main Results:

  • Achieved high accuracy (90.08% training, 88.93% testing) in identifying enzyme beta-hairpins using 5-fold cross-validation.
  • Demonstrated strong performance in predicting beta-hairpins with ligand binding sites (85.82% training, 84.78% testing).
