Predict secondary structure from aa-sequence alone Simple predictive algorithm Four-state predictions More additional information enhances prediction Introduction
Predict conformational state of each residue in a sequence I(Sj; R1, R2, … Rlast) Effect of one residue affects conformation up to eight residues distant 20 X 4 X 17 parameters Theory
Method • Each amino acid is predicted to exist in one of four states: 1) H = helix 2) C = coil 3) T = turn 4) E = extended chain (beta-strand) • Each residue is given a score based upon the nature and positions of the ± 8th residues according to previously calculated tables. • The residue receives a score for each of the conformational possibilities and the highest one gives the prediction.
Example Arg-Gly-Ser-Ala-Lys-Cys-Trp-Tyr-Pro-Ala-Val-Gly-Glu-Lys-Asp-Met-Ile The Pro residue would receive the following scores based on the previously calculated tables:
Better predictions Long-range interactions 5 to 10% improvement with homology studies Only 63% correct Depends on database the GOR method is an approximation Advantages/Disadvantages
