چکیده انگلیسی
The conotoxin proteins are disulfide rich small peptides that target ion channels and G protein coupled receptors. And they provide promising application in treating some chronic pain, epilepsy, cardiovascular diseases, and so on. Conotoxins may be classified into 11 superfamilies: A, D, I1, I2, J, L, M, O, P, S, and T according to the disulfide connectivity, highly conserved N-terminal precursor sequence and similar mode of actions. Successful prediction mature conotoxin superfamily peptide has important signification for the biological and pharmacological functions of the toxins. In this study, a new algorithm of increment of diversity combined with modified Mahalanobis discriminant is presented to predict five superfamilies by using the pseudo amino acid composition. The results of jackknife cross-validation test show that the overall prediction sensitivity and specificity are 88% and 91%, respectively. The predictive algorithm is also used to predict three O-conotoxin families. The 72% sensitivity and 78% specificity are obtained. These results indicate that the conotoxin superfamily peptides correlate with their amino acid compositions.
