Determining protein similarity by comparing hydrophobic core structure
Formal assessment of structural similarity is - next to protein structure prediction - arguably the most important unsolved problem in proteomics. In this paper we propose a similarity criterion based on commonalities between the proteins' hydrophobic cores. The hydrophobic core emerges as a result of conformational changes through which each residue reaches its intended position in the protein...
متن کاملFast Algorithms for Determining Protein Structure Similarity
The problem of identifying the common three-dimensional structure between two protein molecules has received considerable attention from both the biology community and also from algorithms researchers. A number of similarity measures have been proposed so far for this purpose. Among them are the RMS distance, those based on geometric hashing, and some based on the contact map overlap. Very rece...
متن کاملProtein Structure Similarity
Since a protein’s amino acid sequence determines 3D structure, which in turn determines protein function, one might think that sequence similarity is also very good predictor of functional similarity, but this turns out to be less the case than with structural similarity. Vastly different amino acid sequences can yield very different structures, and similar sequences can sometimes yield dissimi...
متن کاملUniversal similarity measure for comparing protein structures.
We introduce a new variant of the root mean square distance (RMSD) for comparing protein structures whose range of values is independent of protein size. This new dimensionless measure (relative RMSD, or RRMSD) is zero between identical structures and one between structures that are as globally dissimilar as an average pair of random polypeptides of respective sizes. The RRMSD probability distr...
متن کاملConstraint-Based Hydrophobic Core Construction for Protein Structure Prediction in the Face-Centered-Cubic Lattice
We present an algorithm for exact protein structure prediction in the FCC-HP-model. This model is a lattice protein model on the face-centered-cubic lattice that models the main force of protein folding, namely the hydrophobic force. The structure prediction for this model can be based on the construction of hydrophobic cores. The main focus of the paper is on an algorithm for constructing maxi...
