CBS-Pred prediction module consists of webservers to predict carbohydrate-binding sites using single sequences (CBS-SS)
or server generated evolutionary information in the form of PSSM (CBS-PSSM). CBS-Pred is an implementation of our earlier algorithm [Malik & Ahmad, 2007].
CBS-SS works in the following steps:
1. Representation of each residue by 20 bit binary vector (all units are zero except one which represents its identity). |
CBS-PSSM works in the following steps:
1. Creation of Position Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM) using PSI_BLAST against an NCBI database of protein sequences, formatted by BLAST. |
