Performance of the Pro-sp3-TASSER server in CASP8.

چکیده
The performance of the protein structure prediction server pro-sp3-TASSER in CASP8 is described. Compared to CASP7, the major improvement in prediction is in the quality of input models to TASSER. These improvements are due to the PRO-SP(3) threading method, the improved quality of contact predictions provided by TASSER_2.0, multiple short TASSER simulations for building the full-length model, and the accuracy of model selection using the TASSER-QA quality assessment method. Finally, we analyze the overall performance and highlight some successful predictions of the pro-sp3-TASSER server.

Protein structure prediction by pro-Sp3-TASSER.
An automated protein structure prediction algorithm, pro-sp3-Threading/ASSEmbly/Refinement (TASSER), is described and benchmarked. Structural templates are identified using five different scoring functions derived from the previously developed threading methods PROSPECTOR_3 and SP(3). Top templates identified by each scoring function are combined to derive contact and distant restraints for sub...
متن کاملI-TASSER: fully automated protein structure prediction in CASP8.
The I-TASSER algorithm for 3D protein structure prediction was tested in CASP8, with the procedure fully automated in both the Server and Human sections. The quality of the server models is close to that of human ones but the human predictions incorporate more diverse templates from other servers which improve the human predictions in some of the distant homology targets. For the first time, th...
متن کاملI-TASSER server: new development for protein structure and function predictions
The I-TASSER server (http://zhanglab.ccmb.med.umich.edu/I-TASSER) is an online resource for automated protein structure prediction and structure-based function annotation. In I-TASSER, structural templates are first recognized from the PDB using multiple threading alignment approaches. Full-length structure models are then constructed by iterative fragment assembly simulations. The functional i...
متن کاملA Protocol for Computer-Based Protein Structure and Function Prediction
Genome sequencing projects have ciphered millions of protein sequence, which require knowledge of their structure and function to improve the understanding of their biological role. Although experimental methods can provide detailed information for a small fraction of these proteins, computational modeling is needed for the majority of protein molecules which are experimentally uncharacterized....
متن کاملSPARKS 2 and SP3 servers in CASP6.
Two single-method servers, SPARKS 2 and SP3, participated in automatic-server predictions in CASP6. The overall results for all as well as detailed performance in comparative modeling targets are presented. It is shown that both SPARKS 2 and SP3 are able to recognize their corresponding best templates for all easy comparative modeling targets. The alignment accuracy, however, is not always the ...
