چکیده

In molecular biology, sequence alignment is a fundamental but powerful technique. Biologists find the similarity, the difference and even the function of the input sequences (DNA, RNA and protein sequences) by it. With various purposes, there are many algorithms to align two sequences based on different criteria. Though there are various ways to align macromolecular sequences, a sequence alignment algorithm traditionally considers only the primary structure, which is the amino acid chain. In this paper, we present a new algorithm which aligns sequences with consideration of their secondary structures. When we make use of the information of protein secondary structure such as α helix, β sheet etc., the sensitivity of pairwise alignment can be improved.

Protein 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...

Prediction of Secondary Structure of Citrus Viroids Reported from Southern Iran

Abstract Viroids are smallest, single-stranded, circular, highly structured plant pathogenic RNAs that do not code for any protein. Viroids belong to two families, the Avsunviroidae and the Pospiviroidae. Members of the Pospiviroidae family adopt a rod-like secondary structure. In this study the most stable secondary structures of citrus viroid variants that reported from Fars province wer...

E ect of Secondary Structure Prediction on Protein Fold Recognition and Database Search

Hydrophobic long-range interactions and local polypeptide chain propensities are the major factors directing protein folding. Incorporating both these terms in addition to the Dayho matrix helps us to increase quality of protein fold recognition via sequencestructure alignment. We have shown that the results of secondary structure prediction substantially increase a sensitivity of the fold reco...
