摘要:
Method and apparatus for evaluating a query protein amino acid sequence with respect to an amino acid sequence motif corresponding to a target of a domain of a known protein having a known function to predict whether the query protein amino acid sequence performs the known function. In one embodiment, the prediction is performed by using a scoring system to generate a score for the query protein amino acid sequence with respect to the amino acid sequence motif. The score indicates a degree of confidence that the query protein amino acid sequence performs the known function. Several embodiments of scoring systems are described.
