Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER01:29

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

5.6K
ER is the primary site for the maturation and folding of soluble and transmembrane secretory proteins. The calnexin cycle is a specific chaperone system that folds and assesses the confirmation of N-glycosylated proteins before they can exit the ER lumen. The primary players of this quality check pipeline are the lectins, ER-resident chaperones, and a glucosyl transferase enzyme. In case the calnexin system in the lumen fails to salvage a misfolded protein, it is transported to the cytoplasm...

Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins

15.0K
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...

Conserved Binding Sites01:49

Conserved Binding Sites

5.3K
Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

Protein and Protein Structure02:15

Protein and Protein Structure

92.2K
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...

Improving Translational Accuracy02:07

Improving Translational Accuracy

15.4K
Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

  • Computational Biology
  • Structural Bioinformatics
  • Machine Learning in Biology

Background:

  • Accurate protein structure model assessment is crucial for advancing protein structure prediction.
  • Existing methods may not fully leverage sequence alignment information for quality evaluation.

  • Implemented a Support Vector Machine (SVM) regression model trained on sequence alignment features.
  • Extracted features including normalized e-value, identity percentage, alignment coverage, and substitution matrix scores (BLOSUM, Gonnet160).
  • Evaluated performance using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Absolute Mean Error (ABS) with five-fold cross-validation.

Main Results:

  • The SVM predictor achieved high accuracy in predicting GDT-TS scores.
  • Optimized SVM model demonstrated RMSE and ABS values close to 0.1 on testing data.
  • The method proved effective for both single-template pairwise and multiple-template alignments.
