Sažetak
The zinc ion is the second richest metal ion in organisms. The proteins binding to zinc ions have important biological functions. However, few scholars have integrated the existing tools to predict the zinc-binding sites in proteins. To make up for this gap, this paper combines three well-known prediction tools into an improved model called IBayes_Zinc to predict the zinc-binding sites, and utilizes the advantages of the Bayesian method in handling incomplete or partial missing data. Specifically, the prediction scores of three existing sequence-based prediction tools were adopted, and the missing values were padded, forming an integrated classification tool. Then, the probabilities of positive and negative samples were computed and categorized as the class with higher probabilities. Experiments were conducted on a non-redundant training dataset and an independent testing dataset. The results show that our method surpassed the other three methods by nearly 5–13% in Matthew correlation coefficient (MCC) and outperformed the latter in recall and precision. The research findings promote the detection of zinc-binding sites in protein sequence and the identification of metalloprotein functions.
