Using structural motif descriptors for sequence-based binding site prediction
Background: Many protein sequences are still poorly annotated. Functional characterization of a protein is often improved by the identification of its interaction partners. Here, ...

Comparison of PGH2 binding site in prostaglandin synthases
Background: Prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) is a common precursor for the synthesis of five different Prostanoids via specific Prostanoid Synthases. The binding of this substrate with the...
