Classify a protein into functional family from its primary sequence.
Highlights:
SVMProt classification system is trained from representative proteins of a number of functional families and seed proteins of Pfam curated protein families.
It currently covers 54 functional families and additional families will be added in the near future.
The computed accuracy for protein family classification is found to be in the range of 69.1x9699.6%.
SVMProt shows a certain degree of capability for the classification of distantly related proteins and homologous proteins of different function and thus may be used as a protein function prediction tool that complements sequence alignment methods.
