Prediction of functional engrailed homology-1 protein motif from sequence
Prediction of functional peptide motifs from sequences is an important problem in bioinformatics. Experimental discovery of functional sequences is laborious. Searches for specific motifs within the increasing number of proteins available in public databases often involve extensive computer calculations. Short peptide motifs are especially hard to identify via currently available methods. Prese...
متن کاملPrediction of temperature factors from protein sequence
Protein flexibility is useful in structural and functional aspect of proteins. We have analyzed the local primary protein sequence features that in combination can predict the B-value of amino acid residues directly from the protein sequence. We have also analyzed the distribution of B-value in different regions of protein three dimensional structures. On an average, the normalized Bvalue decre...
متن کاملAutomated Prediction of Protein Function from Sequence
Investigation of protein gene function is a central question in molecular biology, biochemistry, and genetics. Because genes evolved from the same ancestral gene retain similarity in their function in most cases, finding known genes which have sufficient sequence similarity is a powerful way for predicting function. In this chapter we review computational techniques and resources for gene funct...
متن کاملTransmembrane Segment Prediction from Protein Sequence Data
We consider the automated identification of transmembrane domains in membrane protein sequences. 324 proteins (containing 1585 segments) were examined, representing every protein in the PIR database having the transmembrane domain feature annotation. Machine learning techniques were used to evaluate the efficacy of alternative hydrophobicity measures and windowing techniques. We describe a simp...
متن کاملSequence patterns derived from the automated prediction of functional residues in structurally-aligned homologous protein families
MOTIVATION Most proteins have evolved to perform specific functions that are dependent on the adoption of well-defined three-dimensional (3D) structures. Specific patterns of conserved residues in amino acid sequences of divergently evolved proteins are frequently observed; these may reflect evolutionary restraints arising both from the need to maintain tertiary structure and the requirement to...
