Figure 3

Definition of true/false positives and true/false negatives for the predicted ligand binding site residues evaluated with respect to the referenced ligand binding site in a protein. True and false positives are the correctly and incorrectly predicted number of binding site residues in a protein, respectively. True and false negatives are the correctly and incorrectly predicted number of non-binding site residues, respectively. They are defined for each known ligand binding site on a protein by protein basis.
