Protein and Protein Structure02:15

Protein and Protein Structure

87.5K
Proteins are one of the most abundant organic molecules in living systems and have the most diverse range of functions of all macromolecules. Proteins may be structural, regulatory, contractile, or protective. They may serve in transport, storage, or membranes; or they may be toxins or enzymes. Their structures, like their functions, vary greatly. They are all, however, amino acid polymers arranged in a linear sequence.
A protein's shape is critical to its function. For example, an enzyme...

Resonance and Hybrid Structures

26.3K
According to the theory of resonance, if two or more Lewis structures with the same arrangement of atoms can be written for a molecule, ion, or radical, the actual distribution of electrons is an average of that shown by the various Lewis structures.
Resonance Structures and Resonance Hybrids
The Lewis structure of a nitrite anion (NO2−) may actually be drawn in two different ways, distinguished by the locations of the N–O and N=O bonds.

Structural Protein Function

29.9K
Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity.  In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to...

Secondary Active Transport01:55

Secondary Active Transport

137.8K
One example of how cells use the energy contained in electrochemical gradients is demonstrated by glucose transport into cells. The ion vital to this process is sodium (Na+), which is typically present in higher concentrations extracellularly than in the cytosol. Such a concentration difference is due, in part, to the action of an enzyme “pump” embedded in the cellular membrane that actively expels Na+ from a cell. Importantly, as this pump contributes to the high concentration of...

Summary

A new knowledge-based method (PROSP) predicts protein secondary structure. Higher match rates correlate with better accuracy, leading to a hybrid approach (HYPROSP) combining PROSP with machine learning for improved protein structure prediction.

Area of Science:

  • * Computational biology
  • * Bioinformatics
  • * Structural biology

Background:

  • * Protein secondary structure prediction is crucial for understanding protein function.
  • * Existing methods, including machine learning, have limitations in accuracy.
  • * A knowledge-based approach can leverage structural information from known peptide fragments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To develop a novel knowledge-based approach for protein secondary structure prediction.
  • * To introduce a quantitative measure (match rate) for assessing information extraction from a knowledge base.
  • * To propose a hybrid prediction method (HYPROSP) integrating knowledge-based and machine learning techniques.

Main Methods:

  • * Development of PROSP (PROtein Secondary Structure prediction) using a knowledge base of peptide fragments.
  • * Definition of a quantitative 'match rate' to measure structural information extraction.
  • * Implementation of HYPROSP: PROSP for high match rates (>=80%), otherwise a machine learning approach (PSIPRED).
  • * Validation using DSSP and EVA datasets.

Main Results:

  • * A positive correlation observed between match rate and prediction accuracy using PROSP.
  • * HYPROSP demonstrated superior performance compared to PSIPRED for proteins with match rates >=80%.
  • * Average Q3 accuracy improvements of 3.96 (DSSP) and 7.2 (EVA) were achieved by PROSP over PSIPRED.

Conclusions:

  • * The knowledge-based approach (PROSP) effectively predicts protein secondary structure.
  • * The match rate serves as a reliable indicator of prediction accuracy.
  • * HYPROSP offers an improved hybrid strategy for protein secondary structure prediction, outperforming established machine learning methods in specific cases.
