Abstract
This article describes a novel method for predicting ligand-binding sites of proteins. This method uses only 8 structural properties as input vector to train 9 random forest classifiers which are combined to predict binding residues. These predicted binding residues are then clustered into some predicted ligand-binding sites. According to our measurement criterion, this method achieved a success rate of 0.914 in the bound state dataset and 0.800 in the unbound state dataset, which are better than three other methods: Q-SiteFinder, SCREEN and Moritas method. It indicates that the proposed method here is successful for predicting ligand-binding sites.
