Evolutionary couplings and sequence variation effect predict protein binding sites.

Abstract excerpt

Binding small ligands such as ions or macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, and other proteins is one important aspect of the molecular function of proteins. Many binding sites remain without experimental annotations. Predicting binding sites on a per-residue level is challenging, but if 3D structures are known, information about coevolving residue pairs (evolutionary couplings) can predict catalytic residues through...
