HOMOLOBIND - proteome-wide prediction of protein and ligand binding sites using structure.

What is HOMOLOBIND?
HOMOLOBIND identifies residues in protein sequences with significant similarity to structurally characterized binding sites. The program predicts residues in ligand and protein binding sites with estimated true postive rates of 98% and 88%, respectively, at 1% false positive rates. Binding sites are transferred from LIGBASE and PIBASE through ASTRAL/ASTEROIDS alignments onto SUPERFAMILY domain assignments.

The current release is based on SCOP v1.73 domain classification. SUPERFAMILY has recently (Nov 2010) updated to SCOP v1.75 domain definitions, and the corresponding HOMOLOBIND update will be available by the end of 2010.
