Conserved Binding Sites

Conserved Binding Sites

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:

Utilized a benchmark dataset with a balanced ratio of positive and negative samples.
Employed the Composition of K-Spaced Amino Acid Pairs (CKSAAP) feature extraction method.
Applied Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification for predicting citrullination sites.

Main Results:

Achieved high performance metrics, including 98.34% True Positive Rate and 99.44% True Negative Rate.
Demonstrated an overall accuracy of 98.89% and an Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) of 0.999.
