AmylPepPred: Amyloidogenic Peptide Prediction tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
UNLABELLED We present an efficient computational architecture designed using supervised machine learning model to predict amyloid fibril forming protein segments, named AmylPepPred. The proposed prediction model is based on bio-physio-chemical properties of primary sequences and auto-correlation function of their amino acid indices. AmylPepPred provides a user friendly web interface for the researchers to easily observe the fibril forming and non-fibril forming hexmers in a given protein sequence. We expect that this stratagem will be highly encouraging in discovering fibril forming regions in proteins thereby benefit in finding therapeutic agents that specifically aim these sequences for the inhibition and cure of amyloid illnesses. AVAILABILITY AmylPepPred is available freely for academic use at www.zoommicro.in/amylpeppred.

FoldAmyloid: a method of prediction of amyloidogenic regions from protein sequence
MOTIVATION Amyloidogenic regions in polypeptide chains are very important because such regions are responsible for amyloid formation and aggregation. It is useful to be able to predict positions of amyloidogenic regions in protein chains. RESULTS Two characteristics (expected probability of hydrogen bonds formation and expected packing density of residues) have been introduced by us to detect...
متن کاملMotif mining: an assessment and perspective for amyloid fibril prediction tool
Amyloid fibril forming regions in protein sequences are associated with a number of diseases. Experimental evidences compel in favor of the hypothesis that short motif regions are responsible for its amyloidogenic behavior. Thus, identifying these short peptides is critical in understanding the cause of diseases associated with aggregation of proteins and developing sequencetargeted anti-aggreg...
متن کاملFuzzy Grammar-based Prediction of Amyloidogenic Regions
In this paper, we address the problem of predicting the location of amyloidogenic regions in proteins. The language of protein sequence can be described by using a formal system such as fuzzy context-free grammar, and the problem of amyloidogenic region recognition can be replaced by fuzzy grammar induction. The induced fuzzy grammar achieved 70.6% accuracy and 96.7% specificity on a recently p...
متن کاملPrediction of Amyloidogenic and Disordered Regions in Protein Chains
The determination of factors that influence protein conformational changes is very important for the identification of potentially amyloidogenic and disordered regions in polypeptide chains. In our work we introduce a new parameter, mean packing density, to detect both amyloidogenic and disordered regions in a protein sequence. It has been shown that regions with strong expected packing density...
متن کاملGold Nanoparticles and Microwave Irradiation Inhibit Beta-Amyloid Amyloidogenesis
Peptide-Gold nanoparticles selectively attached to b-amyloid protein (Ab) amyloidogenic aggregates were irradiated with microwave. This treatment produces dramatic effects on the Ab aggregates, inhibiting both the amyloidogenesis and the restoration of the amyloidogenic potential. This novel approach offers a new strategy to inhibit, locally and remotely, the amyloidogenic process, which could ...
