Computational Prediction of Protein Epsilon Lysine Acetylation Sites Based on a Feature Selection Method

摘要

Aim and Objective: Lysine acetylation, as one type of post-translational modifications (PTM), plays key roles in cellular regulations and can be involved in a variety of human diseases. However, it is often high-cost and time-consuming to use traditional experimental approaches to identify the lysine acetylation sites. Therefore, effective computational methods should be developed to predict the acetylation sites. In this study, we developed a position-specific method for epsilon lysine acetylation site prediction.
