COFACTOR is a structure, sequence, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) based method for biological function annotation of protein molecules. Starting from the 3D structural model, COFACTOR will thread the query through the BioLiP protein funtion database by local and global structure matches to identify functional sites and homologies. Functional insights, including Gene Ontology (GO), Enzyme Commission (EC), and ligand-binding sites, will be derived from the best functional homology templates. For GO, additional insights will be obtained from UniProt-GOA by sequence and sequence-profile alignments and from STRING by protein-protein interaction inferrals. The COFACTOR algorithm (as "I-TASSER_FUNCTION") was ranked as the best method for protein function prediction in the community-wide CASP9 experiments. Questions about the COFACTOR server can be posted at the Service System Discussion Board.

For a given target structure, the output of COFACTOR includes (see an illustrative example):

  • The top 10 closest structures in the PDB identified by TM-align
  • GO terms and the directed acyclic graphs associated with the target protein
  • EC numbers, active sites and the enzyme homolog structures of the target protein
  • Ligand binding site on target protein and the ligand-protein complex structures
