Protein Structure Prediction - Session Introduction

چکیده
Protein structure prediction from sequence remains a major unsolved problem despite decades of work by the best minds in science. However, the availability of genome-scale data is changing the basis for the computational analysis of biological systems, and organizational patterns previously obscured by limited data sets now are becoming apparent. The opportunity to relate sequence, structure, and function at the full organism level is at hand.

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...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a universal health problem and may result into acute, fulminant, chronic hepatitis liver cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma. Sequence for protein X of HBV was retrieved from Uniprot database. ProtParam from ExPAsy server was used to investigate the physicochemical properties of the protein. Homology modeling was carried out using Phyre2 server, and refin...

Background: The present study has been designed with the aim of evaluating A-kinase anchoring proteins 3 (AKAP3)and Procollagen-Lysine, 2-Oxoglutarate 5-Dioxygenase 3 (PLOD3) gene mutations and prediction of 3D proteinstructure for ligand binding activity in the cases of non-obstructive azoospermic male.Materials and Methods: Clinically diagnosed cases of non-obstructive azoos...
متن کاملProtein structure prediction in biology and medicine
Protein structure prediction from sequence has made rapid advances in the last few years, gaining increased attention after the success of the CASP meetings. Specifically, threading predictions were shown to work for many cases previously thought to be outside of the scope of prediction methods. The papers in this session address a wide scope of topics, ranging from techniques for validation of...
متن کاملIn silico investigation of lactoferrin protein characterizations for the prediction of anti-microbial properties
Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding multi-functional glycoprotein which has numerous physiological functions such as iron transportation, anti-microbial activity and immune response. In this study, different in silico approaches were exploited to investigate Lf protein properties in a number of mammalian species. Results showed that the iron-binding site, DNA and RNA-binding sites, signal pepti...
