Using feature optimization-based support vector machine method to recognize the β-hairpin motifs in enzymes.

ABSTRACT: β-Hairpins in enzyme, a kind of special protein with catalytic functions, contain many binding sites which are essential for the functions of enzyme. With the increasing number of observed enzyme protein sequences, it is of especial importance to use bioinformatics techniques to quickly and accurately identify the β-hairpin in enzyme protein for further advanced annotation of structure and function of enzyme. In this work, the proposed method was trained and tested on a non-redundant enzyme β-hairpin database containing 2818 β-hairpins and 1098 non-β-hairpins. With 5-fold cross-validation on the training dataset, the overall accuracy of 90.08% and Matthew's correlation coefficient (Mcc) of 0.74 were obtained, while on the independent test dataset, the overall accuracy of 88.93% and Mcc of
