presents the common SAR task when the program predicts protein targets for the query ligand by comparing with chemical structures of compounds with known target spectra.
Ligand-based predictionsearches the small molecule ligands for the test protein by comparing the amino acid sequences with known ligands. Ligands’ structures are not considered.
Sequence-based predictionis applied in the absence of the information on interaction spectra of both the target and ligand. The predictive algorithm requires the protein sequence and ligand structure.
