Hybrid Fold Recognition : Combining Sequence Derived
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent assessments of structure prediction have demonstrated that (i) although fold recognition methods can often identify remote similarities when standard sequence search methods fail, the score of the top-ranking fold is not always signii-cant enough to allow a conndent prediction; (ii) the use of structural information such as secondary structure increases recognition accuracy; (iii) modern sequence-based methods incorporating evolutionary information from neighboring sequences can often identify very remote similarities; (iv) there is no one single method that is superior to other methods when evaluated over a wide range of targets, and (v) extensive human-expert intervention is usually required for the most diicult prediction targets. Here, I describe a new, hybrid fold recognition method that incorporates structural and evolutionary information into a single fully automated method. This work is a rst attempt towards the automation of some of the processes that are often applied by human predictors. The method is tested with two fold-recognition benchmarks demonstrating a superior performance. The higher sensitivity and selectivity enable the applicability of this method at genomic scales.

متن کاملImproving protein fold recognition with hybrid profiles combining sequence and structure evolution
MOTIVATION Template-based modeling, the most successful approach for predicting protein 3D structure, often requires detecting distant evolutionary relationships between the target sequence and proteins of known structure. Developed for this purpose, fold recognition methods use elaborate strategies to exploit evolutionary information, mainly by encoding amino acid sequence into profiles. Since...
متن کاملFold recognition by combining sequence profiles derived from evolution and from depth-dependent structural alignment of fragments.
Recognizing structural similarity without significant sequence identity has proved to be a challenging task. Sequence-based and structure-based methods as well as their combinations have been developed. Here, we propose a fold-recognition method that incorporates structural information without the need of sequence-to-structure threading. This is accomplished by generating sequence profiles from...

Nowadays, deep learning and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have become widespread tools in many biomedical engineering studies. CNN is an end-to-end tool which makes processing procedure integrated, but in some situations, this processing tool requires to be fused with machine learning methods to be more accurate. In this paper, a hybrid approach based on deep features extracted from Wave...
متن کاملCombining Secondary Structure Element Alignment and Profile-Profile Alignment for Fold Recognition
One of the most intensely studied problems of bioinformatics is the prediction of a protein structure from an amino acid sequence. In fold recognition, one reduces this problem to assigning a protein of unknown structure to one of the known fold classes as defined in the SCOP or CATH classifications. Here, we combine two alignment methods, secondary structure element alignment and log average p...
