Protein Folding

12.8K
Proteins are chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Upon synthesis, a protein folds into a three-dimensional conformation, critical to its biological function. Interactions between its constituent amino acids guide protein folding, and hence the protein structure is primarily dependent on its amino acid sequence.
Protein Structure Is Critical to Its Biological Function
Proteins perform a wide range of biological functions such as catalyzing chemical reactions, providing...

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

15.3K
Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain.  Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to...

Protein Families02:47

Protein Families

17.7K
Protein families are groups of homologous proteins; that is, they have similarities in amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures. Protein families usually occur because of gene duplication, where an additional copy of a gene is inserted into the genome of an organism.   Mutations that change the amino acids but still allow the protein to be properly synthesized, will lead to new protein family members.   If these new proteins contain similar amino acids in key...

    Area of Science:

    • Computational biology
    • Structural bioinformatics
    • Protein science

    Background:

    • Determining a protein's three-dimensional structure from its amino acid sequence is a complex challenge.
    • Protein fold recognition and secondary structure prediction are crucial intermediate steps.
    • Existing protein fold recognition methods often have limited accuracy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To improve protein fold recognition accuracy.
    • To develop a novel strategy combining evolutionary information and predicted secondary structures.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized evolutionary information from Position Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM).
    • Integrated predicted secondary structure information from SPINE-X.
    • Developed a strategy based on calculating amino acid pair (AAP) probabilities.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved an 8.9% improvement in recognition accuracy.
    • Reached over 90% prediction accuracy for sequence similarity below 40%.
    • Attained 77.0% prediction accuracy for sequence similarity below 25%.

    Conclusions:

    • The combined strategy of PSSM and SPINE-X significantly enhances protein fold recognition.
    • The method sets new benchmarks for accuracy, particularly for proteins with low sequence similarity.
    • This approach offers a more reliable tool for predicting protein structures.
