Detecting Protein Candidate Fragments Using a Structural Alphabet Profile Comparison Approach
Predicting accurate fragments from sequence has recently become a critical step for protein structure modeling, as protein fragment assembly techniques are presently among the most efficient approaches for de novo prediction. A key step in these approaches is, given the sequence of a protein to model, the identification of relevant fragments - candidate fragments - from a collection of the avai...
متن کاملProtein structure mining using a structural alphabet.
We present a comprehensive evaluation of a new structure mining method called PB-ALIGN. It is based on the encoding of protein structure as 1D sequence of a combination of 16 short structural motifs or protein blocks (PBs). PBs are short motifs capable of representing most of the local structural features of a protein backbone. Using derived PB substitution matrix and simple dynamic programming...
متن کاملA Multi-strategy Approach to Protein Structural Alphabet Design
The search for structural similarity among proteins can provide valuable insights into their functional mechanisms and their functional relationships. Though the protein 1D sequence contains the information of protein folding, the performance of predicting the 3D-structure directly from the sequence is still limited. As the increase of available protein structures, we can now conduct more preci...
متن کاملProtein Block Expert (PBE): a web-based protein structure analysis server using a structural alphabet
Encoding protein 3D structures into 1D string using short structural prototypes or structural alphabets opens a new front for structure comparison and analysis. Using the well-documented 16 motifs of Protein Blocks (PBs) as structural alphabet, we have developed a methodology to compare protein structures that are encoded as sequences of PBs by aligning them using dynamic programming which uses...
متن کاملProtein short loop prediction in terms of a structural alphabet
Loops connect regular secondary structures. In many instances, they are known to play crucial biological roles. To bypass the limitation of secondary structure description, we previously defined a structural alphabet composed of 16 structural prototypes, called Protein Blocks (PBs). It leads to an accurate description of every region of 3D protein backbones and has been used in local structure ...
