Abstract: A new method based on information entropy and charge of residue was developed to predict the tyrosine nitration sites.By using the 10-fold cross-validation,the predictive accuracy and Matthews Correlation Coefficient of the model were 84.80% and 69.69%,respectively.Some preliminary discussions were made to the window of information entropy and traditional continuous window.Our results showed that the window of information entropy could effectively capture the important sites in the nitro-tyrosine peptide,which overcomed the contradiction that the short peptide sequence was easy to lose information and the redundant information would be introduced by just increasing the length of peptide.The prediction performance of the model was ultimately improved.Feature analysis revealed that the local electrostatic environment of tyrosine residues,the adjacent evolutionarily conserved sites and long-range sites had some significant influences on tyrosine nitration.
