Internal residue criteria for predicting three-dimensional protein structures

K W Olsen

    Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta
    |April 25, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Protein structure prediction can be improved by analyzing internal amino acid residues. The hydrophobic effect guides protein folding, and deviations in predicted structures suggest inaccuracies, guiding refinement.

    Area of Science:

    • Structural Biology
    • Bioinformatics
    • Protein Science

    Background:

    • The hydrophobic effect is crucial for stabilizing protein three-dimensional structures.
    • Internal amino acid residues in proteins are predominantly non-polar.
    • This principle offers criteria for evaluating predicted protein structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish and test new criteria for assessing the accuracy of protein structure predictions.
    • To utilize the dinucleotide binding domain as a model system for validation.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of internal amino acid residue properties: ionic percentage, mutation data, hydrophobicity, and dipole moments.
    • Comparison of these properties in known dinucleotide binding folds versus predicted domains.
    • Application of internal residue criteria to refine inaccurate structure predictions.

    Main Results:

    • Known dinucleotide binding folds exhibit internal residue properties consistent with hydrophobic stabilization.
    • Predicted domains in glutamate dehydrogenase and aldolase show significant deviations from expected internal residue patterns.
    • These discrepancies indicate potential inaccuracies in the current structure predictions.

    Conclusions:

    • Internal residue criteria provide a robust method for validating protein structure predictions.
    • Deviations in predicted internal residue characteristics signal areas needing refinement.
    • This approach can guide modifications to improve the accuracy of predicted protein structures.
