Identification of antifreeze proteins and their functional residues by support vector machine and genetic algorithms based on n-peptide compositions.

For the first time, multiple sets of n-peptide compositions from antifreeze protein (AFP) sequences of various cold-adapted fish and insects were analyzed using support vector machine and genetic algorithms. The identification of AFPs is difficult because they exist as evolutionarily divergent types...
