NSiteMatch: Prediction of Binding Sites of Nucleotides by Identifying the Structure Similarity of Local Surface Patches

Figure 7

Comparison of the structures of templates identified by the NSiteMatch as similar to the chain A of the probable cell division inhibitor mind protein (PDB code: 1ION), which are classified as belonging to different superfamily as the 1ION protein. The 1ION structure is shown in red, while the three templates, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, UDP-N-Acetylmuramoylalanine-D-Glutamate ligase, and thermosome alpha subunit, are in green, blue, and grey, respectively. (a), (b), and (c) superimpose each of the templates to the 1ION structure by using Fr-TM-align. (d), (e), and (f) are the common substructures between the 1ION structure and a given template, which were identified by the NSiteMatch. The residues are displayed in the ball and stick format and the ADP is shown in the stick format.
