Protein function prediction does not require knowing the structure. In fact, nearly all function prediction is done on protein sequence alone, using alignment algorithms.
- jf- 8y agoWhen I look up the subject I see several structural function prediction methods. This being so I don’t accept that having better structure does not assist in predicting function, at least when using these approaches.
- timr 8y agoAre there structure-based methods? Yes. Does function prediction require structure? (i.e. what you said, above.) No.
