Abstract

The objective is to apply and thereby challenge one approach for data mining to derive new knowledge about protein structure. Specifically we propose to: (1) Establish a database of protein topology and functional encoded in PROLOG; (2) Perform data mining using inductive logic programming (the program PROGOL) to obtain new structural principles; (3) Identify required improvements in PROGOL; (4) Evaluate the utility of the learnt rules for understanding and predicting protein architecture; (5) Disseminate the results via the Web to the biological and computer science communities. The work will be a collaboration between: the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, Oxford University Computing Lab, Glaxo and SmithKline Beecham.
