چکیده

Contact maps have been used in ab initio methods for the problem of protein structure prediction problem. Secondary structures and contacts made by the residues are clearly visible in the contact maps where helices are seen as thick bands and the beta sheets are seen as orthogonal to the diagonal. This paper explores the idea of extracting rules from contact maps to represent “protein fold” information.

Evolution and similarity evaluation of protein structures in contact map space.

Prediction of fold from amino acid sequence of a protein has been an active area of research in the past few years, but the limited accuracy of existing techniques emphasizes the need to develop newer approaches to tackle this task. In this study, we use contact map prediction as an intermediate step in fold prediction from sequence. Contact map is a reduced graph-theoretic representation of pr...

Mining Protein Contact Maps

The 3D conformation of a protein may be compactly represented in a symmetrical, square, boolean matrix of pairwise, inter-residue contacts, or “contact map”. The contact map provides a host of useful information about the protein’s structure. In this paper we describe how data mining can be used to extract valuable information from contact maps. For example, clusters of contacts represent certa...

Predicting interresidue contacts using templates and pathways.

We present a novel method, HMMSTR-CM, for protein contact map predictions. Contact potentials were calculated by using HMMSTR, a hidden Markov model for local sequence structure correlations. Targets were aligned against protein templates using a Bayesian method, and contact maps were generated by using these alignments. Contact potentials then were used to evaluate these templates. An ab initi...

Prediction of Coffee Effects in Rats with Healthy and NAFLD Conditions Based on Protein-Protein Interaction Network Analysis

Background and objectives: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common liver condition. On the other hand, coffee consumption has shown promising for gastrointestinal diseases.  Detection of the most valuable biomarkers of decaffeinated coffee treatment in healthy and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease conditions was the aim of the present study. Methods:</stro...

Prediction of contact maps by GIOHMMs and recurrent neural networks using lateral propagation from all four cardinal corners

MOTIVATION Accurate prediction of protein contact maps is an important step in computational structural proteomics. Because contact maps provide a translation and rotation invariant topological representation of a protein, they can be used as a fundamental intermediary step in protein structure prediction. RESULTS We develop a new set of flexible machine learning architectures for the predict...
