What you can do: Predict DNA and RNA binding sites in protein sequences.
Highlights:
  • BindN takes an amino acid sequence as input and predicts potential DNA or RNA-binding residues with support vector machines (SVMs).
  • Protein datasets with known DNA or RNA-binding residues were selected from the Protein Data Bank (PDB), and SVM models were constructed using data instances encoded with three sequence features, including the side chain pK(a) value, hydrophobicity index and molecular mass of an amino acid.
  • BindN provides a useful tool for understanding the function of DNA and RNA-binding proteins based on primary sequence data.
