A scoring function based on solvation thermodynamics for protein structure prediction
We predict protein structure using our recently developed free energy function for describing protein stability, which is focused on solvation thermodynamics. The function is combined with the current most reliable sampling methods, i.e., fragment assembly (FA) and comparative modeling (CM). The prediction is tested using 11 small proteins for which high-resolution crystal structures are availa...
متن کاملA knowledge-based scoring function based on residue triplets for protein structure prediction
One of the general paradigms for ab initio protein structure prediction involves sampling the conformational space such that a large set of decoy (candidate) structures are generated and then selecting native-like conformations from those decoys using various scoring functions. In this study, based on a physical/geometric approach first suggested by Banavar and colleagues, we formulate a knowle...
متن کاملProtein secondary structure prediction based on position-specific scoring matrices.
A two-stage neural network has been used to predict protein secondary structure based on the position specific scoring matrices generated by PSI-BLAST. Despite the simplicity and convenience of the approach used, the results are found to be superior to those produced by other methods, including the popular PHD method according to our own benchmarking results and the results from the recent Crit...
متن کاملMicroRNAfold: pre-microRNA secondary structure prediction based on modified NCM model with thermodynamics-based scoring strategy
An accurate prediction of the pre-microRNA secondary structure is important in miRNA informatics. Based on a recently proposed model, nucleotide cyclic motifs (NCM), to predict RNA secondary structure, we propose and implement a Modified NCM (MNCM) model with a physics-based scoring strategy to tackle the problem of pre-microRNA folding. Our microRNAfold is implemented using a global optimal al...
متن کاملA scoring function development for protein structure classification based on sequence and structure information
This project is to combine sequence and structure information of proteins to set up scoring function to classify protein structures whose belongings are unknown. The scoring function is basically explained as distance between two proteins. We began this project with searching useful informations and construct geometric and topological representations and distance metrics of those useful informa...
