Chapter 7 presents the third part <strong>of</strong> the three text mining chapters. Both text mining<br />

modules from the previous chapters (protein residue identification, and contextual<br />

feature extraction) are combined to form the <strong>functional</strong> <strong>annotation</strong> extraction system.<br />

The overall performance <strong>of</strong> this information extraction system is studied. The<br />

validity <strong>of</strong> the extracted information as <strong>functional</strong> <strong>annotation</strong> is demonstrated by<br />

manual analysis on two example proteins (p53 and Jak2), and by cross-validation<br />

<strong>of</strong> identified catalytic or binding residues with two reference databases: CSA and<br />

MSDsite.<br />

Chapter 8 presents results on combining protein structure data with literature data.<br />

The validity is studied by examining the correlation <strong>of</strong> <strong>predicted</strong> <strong>active</strong> site residues<br />

with enzyme-related <strong>functional</strong> <strong>annotation</strong>s.<br />

Chapter 9 summarises the thesis and presents limitations and open questions for follow<br />

up research.<br />
