In 2014 a very powerful AI (artificial intelligence) tool has been established for identifying hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine sites in proteins, two of the important post modifications in proteins [1]. To see how the web-server is working, please do the following.
a) Step 1. Open the web server at the site and you will see the top page of the predictor on your computer screen, as shown in
Figure1. Click on the Read Me button to see a brief introduction about iHyd-PseAAC predictor and the caveat when using it
b) Step 2. Either type or copy/paste the query protein sequences into the input box at the center of Figure1. The protein sequences should be in FASTA format. The input examples can be seen by clicking on the Example button right above the input box.
Figure 1: The top-page of the web-server iHyd-PseAAC.
c) Step 3. Click on the Submit button to see the predicted result. For instance, if you use the protein sequences in the Example window as the input, after a few seconds, you will see the corresponding predicted results, which is fully consistent with experiment observations.
d) Step 4. Click on the Citation button to find the relevant paper that documents the detailed development and algorithm of iHyd-PseAAC.
e) Step 5. Click on the Data button to download the benchmark dataset used to train and test the iHyd-PseAAC predictor.
It is anticipated that the Web-Server will be very useful because the vast majority of biological scientists can easily get their desired results without the need to go through the complicated equations in [2]. that were presented just for the integrity in developing the predictor. Also, note that the web-server predictor has been developed by strictly observing the guidelines of “Chou’s 5-steps
rule” and hence have the following notable merits see e.g. [3,4]
and three comprehensive review papers [5-7]: (1) crystal clear
in logic development, (2) completely transparent in operation,
(3) easily to repeat the reported results by other investigators,
(4) with high potential in stimulating other sequence-analyzing
methods, and (5) very convenient to be used by the majority of
experimental scientists. It has not escaped our notice that during
the development of iDNA6mA-PseKNC web-server, the approach
of general pseudo amino acid components [8] or PseAAC [9] had
been utilized and hence its accuracy would be much higher than
its counterparts, as concurred by many investigators see, e.g. [10-
13]. For the marvelous and awesome roles of the “5-steps rule”
in driving proteome, genome analyses and drug development,
see a series of recent papers [14-35] where the rule and its wide
applications have been very impressively presented from various
aspects or at different angles.
