چکیده

Multiple approaches have been developed in order to predict the protein secondary structure. In this paper, we propose an approach to such a problem based on evolutionary computation. The proposed approach considers various amino acids properties in order to predict the secondary structure of a protein. In particular, we will consider the hydrophobicity, the polarity and the charge of amino acids. In this study, we focus on predicting a particular kind of secondary structure: α-helices. The results of our proposal will be a set of rules that will identify the beginning or an end of such a structure.

Prediction of the helix/strand content of globular proteins based on their primary sequences.

An improved multiple linear regression method has been proposed to predict the content of alpha-helix and beta-strand of a globular protein based on its primary sequence. The amino acid composition and the auto-correlation functions based on the hydrophobicity profile of the primary sequence have been taken into account in the algorithm. The resubstitution test shows that the average absolute e...
