Protein-DNA interaction site predictor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Structural and physical properties of DNA provide important constraints on the binding sites formed on surfaces of DNA-targeting proteins. Characteristics of such binding sites may form the basis for predicting DNA-binding sites from the structures of proteins alone. Such an approach has been successfully developed for predicting protein-protein interface. Here this approach is adapted for predicting DNA-binding sites. Prediction of a protein binding sites to DNA can be done at the following webservers:
1) DISPLAR at http://pipe.scs.fsu.edu/displar.html
2) BindN at http://bioinformatics.ksu.edu/bindn/
3) DP-Bind at http://lcg.rit.albany.edu/dp-bind
