An evolving method for learning HMM Structure: prediction of protein secondary structure
Background: The prediction of the secondary structure of proteins is one of the most studied problems in bioinformatics. Despite their success in many problems of biological sequence analysis, Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) have not been used much for this problem, as the complexity of the task makes manual design of HMMs difficult. Therefore, we have developed a method for evolving the structure ...
متن کاملProtein Secondary Structure Prediction: a Literature Review with Focus on Machine Learning Approaches
DNA sequence, containing all genetic traits is not a functional entity. Instead, it transfers to protein sequences by transcription and translation processes. This protein sequence takes on a 3D structure later, which is a functional unit and can manage biological interactions using the information encoded in DNA. Every life process one can figure is undertaken by proteins with specific functio...
متن کاملProtein secondary structure prediction.
The past year has seen a consolidation of protein secondary structure prediction methods. The advantages of prediction from an aligned family of proteins have been highlighted by several accurate predictions made 'blind', before any X-ray or NMR structure was known for the family. New techniques that apply machine learning and discriminant analysis show promise as alternatives to neural networks.
متن کاملA pentapeptide-based method for protein secondary structure prediction.
We present a new method for protein secondary structure prediction, based on the recognition of well-defined pentapeptides, in a large databank. Using a databank of 635 protein chains, we obtained a success rate of 68.6%. We show that progress is achieved when the databank is enlarged, when the 20 amino acids are adequately grouped in 10 sets and when more pentapeptides are attributed one of th...
متن کاملPrediction of Protein Secondary Structure
In the wake of large-scale DNA sequencing projects, accurate tools are needed to predict protein structures. The problem of predicting protein structure from DNA sequence remains fundamentally unsolved even after more than three decades of intensive research. In this paper, fundamental theory of the protein structure will be presented as a general guide to protein secondary structure prediction...
