Abstract:

A method of identifying an extant protein, including (a) providing inputs including: (i) a binding profile, wherein the binding profile includes a plurality of binding outcomes for binding of the extant protein to a plurality of different affinity reagents, wherein individual binding outcomes of the plurality of binding outcomes include a measure of binding between the extant protein and a different affinity reagent of the plurality of different affinity reagents, (ii) a database including information characterizing or identifying a plurality of candidate proteins, and (iii) a binding model; (b) determining a probability for each of the affinity reagents binding to each of the candidate proteins in the database according to the binding model; and (c) identifying the extant protein as a selected candidate protein having a probability for binding each of the affinity reagents that is most compatible with the binding profile for the extant protein.
