Description of features used in classification

Feature name Descriptiona
GScore Grantham score
BScore Amino acid score in BLOSUM62 matrix
Score1 PSIC score (Sunyaev et al., 1999) for wild‐type amino acid residue (before substitution)
dScore Difference of PSIC (Sunyaev et al., 1999) scores for two amino acid residue variants (before and after substitution)
Nobs Number of residues observed at the substitution position in multiple alignment (without gaps)
NormASA Normalized accessible protein surface area
dVol Change in residue side chain volume
dProp Change in solvent accessible surface propensity resulting from the substitution
B.fact Normalized B‐factor (temperature factor; Chasman & Adams, 2001) for the residue
IdPmax Maximum congruency of the mutant amino acid residue to all sequences in multiple alignment
IdQmin Query sequence identity with the closest homolog deviating from the wild‐type amino acid residue
PDB_id Availability of PDB (Berman et al., 2000) protein structure identifier
Transv Substitution type (transversion or transition)
PfamHit Availability of Pfam (Finn et al., 2016) protein structure identifier
