Paper abstract / Intro:

Accurate protein binding site annotations are vital for a profound understanding of biological processes and protein interactions. Due to less supporting information a large number of proteins remain uncharacterised. For large sets of uncharacterised proteins, only amino acid information is available. In this paper, we proposed BSite-pro – a traditional approach – which makes use of protein sequence data for classification of binding sites. The classification procedure requires hand-crafted features from protein sequences. Our results stipulate noteworthy enhancements concerning predicted accuracy and recall upon comparison with previously proposed sequence-based techniques. BSite-pro achieves an overall validation accuracy of 85.06% and recall of 82.17%. Finally, we discuss that using the same feature extraction methods and model, we profitably dealt with two contrasting types of problem i.e. protein active and conserved sites prediction.

Import points:

  • Requires python3.6

  • See requirements.txt for exact version of libraries used.

  • It's suggested that you use virtualenv to create a new environment and then install required packages(Updated).

    pip3 install virtualenv
virtualenv bs
cd bs
. bin/activate
git cone <git_repo_url>
pip install -r <git_repo_name>src/requirements.txt

Execution:

  1. The code is properly commented with guidelines on how to extract features of protein sequence data.
  2. Once the files have been created, one can run train/validation:

This is done through python train.py.
