GalaxySite: ligand-binding-site prediction by using molecular docking.


ABSTRACT: Knowledge of ligand-binding sites of proteins provides invaluable information for functional studies, drug design and protein design. Recent progress in ligand-binding-site prediction methods has demonstrated that using information from similar proteins of known structures can improve predictions. The GalaxySite web server, freely accessible at http://galaxy.seoklab.org/site, combines such information with molecular docking for more precise binding-site prediction for non-metal ligands. According to the recent critical assessments of structure prediction methods held in 2010 and 2012, this server was found to be superior or comparable to other state-of-the-art programs in the category of ligand-binding-site prediction. A strong merit of the GalaxySite program is that it provides additional predictions on binding ligands and their binding poses in terms of the optimized 3D coordinates of the protein-ligand complexes, whereas other methods predict only identities of binding-site residues or copy binding geometry from similar proteins. The additional information on the specific binding geometry would be very useful for applications in functional studies and computer-aided drug discovery.
