Structure-based computational analysis of protein binding sites for function and druggability prediction
Abstract
Protein binding sites are the places where molecular interactions occur. Thus, the analysis of protein binding sites is of crucial importance to understand the biological processes proteins are involved in. Herein, we focus on the computational analysis of protein binding sites and present structure-based methods that enable function prediction for orphan proteins and prediction of target druggability. We present the general ideas behind these methods, with a special emphasis on the scopes and limitations of these methods and their validation. Additionally, we present some successful applications of computational binding site analysis to emphasize the practical importance of these methods for biotechnology/bioeconomy and drug discovery.
