FORTE: a profile-profile comparison tool for protein fold recognition
We present FORTE, a profile-profile comparison tool for protein fold recognition. Users can submit a protein sequence to explore the possibilities of structural similarity existing in known structures. Results are reported via email in the form of pairwise alignments.
متن کاملProfile-profile methods provide improved fold-recognition: a study of different profile-profile alignment methods.
To improve the detection of related proteins, it is often useful to include evolutionary information for both the query and target proteins. One method to include this information is by the use of profile-profile alignments, where a profile from the query protein is compared with the profiles from the target proteins. Profile-profile alignments can be implemented in several fundamentally differ...
متن کاملProfile-Profile Alignment: A Powerful Tool for Protein Structure Prediction
The problem of computing the tertiary structure of a protein from a given amino acid sequence has been a major subject of bioinformatics research during the last decade. Many different approaches have been taken to tackle the problem, the most successful of which are based on searching databases to identify a similar amino acid sequence in the PDB and using the corresponding structure as a temp...
متن کاملCombining Secondary Structure Element Alignment and Profile-Profile Alignment for Fold Recognition
One of the most intensely studied problems of bioinformatics is the prediction of a protein structure from an amino acid sequence. In fold recognition, one reduces this problem to assigning a protein of unknown structure to one of the known fold classes as defined in the SCOP or CATH classifications. Here, we combine two alignment methods, secondary structure element alignment and log average p...
متن کاملAn assessment of substitution scores for protein profile-profile comparison
MOTIVATION Pairwise protein sequence alignments are generally evaluated using scores defined as the sum of substitution scores for aligning amino acids to one another, and gap scores for aligning runs of amino acids in one sequence to null characters inserted into the other. Protein profiles may be abstracted from multiple alignments of protein sequences, and substitution and gap scores have be...
