Classifying G protein-coupled receptors and nuclear receptors on the basis of protein power spectrum from fast Fourier transform.
As the potential drug targets, G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and nuclear receptors (NRs) are the focuses in pharmaceutical research. It is of great practical significance to develop an automated and reliable method to facilitate the identification of novel receptors. In this study, a method of fast Fourier transform-based support vector machine was proposed to classify GPCRs and NRs from the hydrophobicity of proteins. The models for all the GPCR families and NR subfamilies were trained and validated using jackknife test and the results thus obtained are quite promising. Meanwhile, the performance of the method was evaluated on GPCR and NR independent datasets with good performance. The good results indicate the applicability of the method. Two web servers implementing the prediction are available at http://chem.scu.edu.cn/blast/Pred-GPCR and http://chem.scu.edu.cn/blast/Pred-NR.
