Abstract:
We constructed five comparative models in a blind manner for the second meeting on the Critical Assessment of protein Structure Prediction methods (CASP2). The method used is based on a novel graph-theoretic clique-finding approach, and attempts to address the problem of interconnected structural changes in the comparative modeling of protein structures. We discuss briefly how the method is used for protein structure prediction, and detail how it performs in the blind tests. We find that compared to CASP1, significant improvements in building insertions and deletions and sidechain conformations have been achieved.
