Conserved Binding Sites

4.2K
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...

Labeling DNA Probes

8.2K
DNA probes are fragments of DNA labeled with a reporter tag to enable their detection or purification. The resulting labeled DNA probes can then hybridize to target nucleic acid sequences through complementary base-pairing, and may be used to recover or identify these regions.
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...

Main Methods:

  • Constructed nine BERT models of varying sizes using three protein segmentation methods and three encoder counts.
  • Integrated multi-scale convolutional networks to capture local features related to protein motifs.
  • Trained and tested models on known protein datasets, including the independent PDB2272 set.

Main Results:

  • Larger BERT models with more encoders demonstrated superior prediction performance.
  • The proposed algorithm achieved 81.88% sensitivity and 0.39 MCC on the test set.
