Abstract :

Prediction of protein function is of significance in studying biological processes. The prediction of protein function is one of the most demanding tasks in the study of bioinformatics. One approach for function prediction is to classify a protein into functional family. Classification of protein structures helps to understand relationships between protein structure and function. Machine learning methods greatly help to improve the classification of protein function. This paper presents a method for classifying the proteins based on the secondary structure. Support vector machine (SVM) is a useful method for such classification, which may involve proteins with diverse sequence distribution. We have developed SVM classification of a protein into functional domains from its secondary structure.
