Protein and Protein Structure

88.2K
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...

Structural Protein Function

30.0K
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...

Shape and Texture of Coarse Aggregate

696
Aggregate shape is classified based on the relative sharpness or roundness of the edges and corners. This classification includes categories like rounded, angular, elongated, and flaky, each with specific characteristics. Rounded aggregates, fully shaped by attrition, are typical of river or seashore gravel, while angular aggregates, such as crushed rock, have well-defined edges. Aggregates that are elongated and flaky are less desirable, as they can reduce the workability and strength of...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Bioinformatics
  • Protein Structure Prediction

Background:

  • The Protein Structure Prediction (PSP) problem, even with the simplified Hydrophobic-Polar (HP) model, remains computationally challenging (NP-complete).
  • Efficient exploration of the vast search space is crucial for obtaining accurate protein conformations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a systematic and problem-specific evolutionary algorithm hybridized with local search for efficient PSP.
  • To enhance the accuracy and speed of protein structure prediction using novel algorithmic components.

Main Methods:

  • A novel two-tier evolutionary framework integrating hill climbing local search.
  • Implementation of a new initialization method for valid, high-fitness individuals.
  • Utilization of probability-based selection operators to prevent local convergence.
  • Inclusion of a secondary structure-based mutation operator for improved structural accuracy.

Main Results:

  • The developed framework demonstrated superior performance in accuracy (fitness value) and speed (convergence rate) compared to state-of-the-art algorithms.
  • Validation on benchmark and real-world protein sequences from databases confirmed the framework's effectiveness.
  • The proposed methods were tested on both square and triangular lattices.

Conclusions:

  • The novel evolutionary approach significantly improves protein structure prediction efficiency and accuracy.
  • The generic concepts enhancing performance can be adapted to other population-based search algorithms.
  • This work provides a robust framework for tackling the PSP problem in computational biology.
