Growing evidence has suggested that S-nitrosylation plays a major role in numerous human diseases. So, it is highly anticipated for the intuition into biological research and drug discovery to develop such techniques for timely identification of S-nitrosylated proteins. The proposed system endeavors a novel strategy based on numerous intellectual computational method for the identification of S-nitrosocystiene site from a protein sequence. Statistical moments were used to extract the features and built a multilayer neural network model using Gradient Descending and Adaptive Learning Algorithm. The comparison results on the-state-of-the-art benchmark datasets have shown that this proposed scheme is very propitious, accurate and exceptionally effective for the prediction of S-nitrosocystiene in protein sequenceenS-nitrosylationDrug discoveryMS ThesisThesis
