DISCERN – Catalytic Residue Prediction

DISCERN

:: DESCRIPTION

Discern is a method for catalytic residue prediction derived from the combination of three ingredients: the use of the INTREPID phylogenomic method to extract conservation information; the use of 3D structure data, including features computed for residues that are proximal in the structure; and a statistical regularization procedure to prevent overfitting.
