NRPSpredictor2 20111113

:: DESCRIPTION

NRPSpredictor, based on Transductive Support Vector Machines (TSVMs) was built on these 34 active site residues to predict A-domain specificity. The products of many bacterial non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) are highly important secondary metabolites, including vancomycin and other antibiotics. The ability to predict substrate specificity of newly detected NRPS Adenylation (A-) domains by genome sequencing efforts is of great importance to identify and annotate new gene clusters that produce secondary metabolites. Prediction of A-domain specificity based on the sequence alone can be achieved through sequence signatures or, more accurately, through machine learning methods.
