Protein-target interactions are very specific in nature and occurs at pre defined locations in proteins known as hotspots. For successful protein-target interaction both protein and target must share common spectral component known as characteristic frequency. Characteristic frequency is of utmost importance since it forms basis for protein-target interactions, thus an approach for determination of characteristic frequency in proteins using chirp Z-transform is illustrated in this paper. %K Keywords:proteins %K characteristic frequency %K chirp Z-transform %K consensus spectrum %K electron ion interaction potential (EIIP) %K resonant recognition model (RRM) %U http://www.ijareeie.com/upload/june/83_Determination.pdf
