  • Method for determining functional sites in a protein
    Publication number: 20050089878
    Abstract: The present invention relates to improved methods for determining functional residues on the surface of a query protein. The claimed methods rely on determining a plurality of functional annotation scores for a query protein and comparing these functional annotation scores to distributions of similar functional annotation scores derived from a plurality of reference proteins. Based upon these comparisons, a putative functional cluster may be annotated as a functional cluster or a non-functional cluster.

  • Method for determining molecular surface areas and volumes
    Publication number: 20030167159
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for determining the molecular volume and surface area of a solvated solute. One aspect of the present invention is a method for determining the born radii using the methods according to the invention for determining the molecular volume of a solvated solute. Because the methods according to the invention are based upon analytical formulas, the claimed methods are computationally efficient, robust and parallelizable.
