Decoys 'R' Us: a database of incorrect conformations to improve protein structure prediction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of an energy or scoring function for protein structure prediction is greatly enhanced by testing the function on a set of computer-generated conformations (decoys) to determine whether it can readily distinguish native-like conformations from nonnative ones. We have created "Decoys 'R' Us," a database containing many such sets of conformations, to provide a resource that allows scoring functions to be improved.

FOR THE RECORD Decoys ‘R’ Us: A database of incorrect conformations to improve protein structure prediction
The development of an energy or scoring function for protein structure prediction is greatly enhanced by testing the function on a set of computer-generated conformations ~decoys! to determine whether it can readily distinguish native-like conformations from nonnative ones. We have created “Decoys ‘R’ Us,” a database containing many such sets of conformations, to provide a resource that allows ...
متن کاملAn all-atom distance-dependent conditional probability discriminatory function for protein structure prediction.
We present a formalism to compute the probability of an amino acid sequence conformation being native-like, given a set of pairwise atom-atom distances. The formalism is used to derive three discriminatory functions with different types of representations for the atom-atom contacts observed in a database of protein structures. These functions include two virtual atom representations and one all...
متن کاملChainTweak: Sampling from the Neighbourhood of a Protein Conformation
When searching for an optimal protein structure, it is often necessary to generate a set of structures similar, e.g., within 4A Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD), to some base structure. Current methods to do this are designed to produce only small deviations (< 0.1A RMSD) and are inefficient for larger deviations. The method proposed in this paper, ChainTweak, can generate conformations with l...
متن کاملFrom Extraction of Local Structures of Protein Energy Landscapes to Improved Decoy Selection in Template-Free Protein Structure Prediction.
Due to the essential role that the three-dimensional conformation of a protein plays in regulating interactions with molecular partners, wet and dry laboratories seek biologically-active conformations of a protein to decode its function. Computational approaches are gaining prominence due to the labor and cost demands of wet laboratory investigations. Template-free methods can now compute thous...
متن کاملEnergy functions that discriminate X-ray and near native folds from well-constructed decoys.
This study generates ensembles of decoy or test structures for eight small proteins with a variety of different folds. Between 35,000 and 200,000 decoys were generated for each protein using our four-state off-lattice model together with a novel relaxation method. These give compact self-avoiding conformations each constrained to have native secondary structure. Ensembles of these decoy conform...
