| Research Abstract |
Protein-ligand interaction is a basic process underlying diverse biological phenomena. The ultimate goal of this project is to reveal how the location of ligand binding sites on protein surface have been selected in the course of evolution. We have developed a dataset of protein quaternary structures with ligands. We then have taken the statistics of the location of ligand binding sites, and have analyzed the relationships between the location and geometric feature of the ligand binding site, protein dynamics and protein function, respectively.
