A structural-alphabet-based strategy for finding structural motifs across protein families
Proteins with insignificant sequence and overall structure similarity may still share locally conserved contiguous structural segments; i.e. structural/3D motifs. Most methods for finding 3D motifs require a known motif to search for other similar structures or functionally/structurally crucial residues. Here, without requiring a query motif or essential residues, a fully automated method for d...
متن کاملA Multi-strategy Approach to Protein Structural Alphabet Design
The search for structural similarity among proteins can provide valuable insights into their functional mechanisms and their functional relationships. Though the protein 1D sequence contains the information of protein folding, the performance of predicting the 3D-structure directly from the sequence is still limited. As the increase of available protein structures, we can now conduct more preci...
متن کاملProtein structure mining using a structural alphabet.
We present a comprehensive evaluation of a new structure mining method called PB-ALIGN. It is based on the encoding of protein structure as 1D sequence of a combination of 16 short structural motifs or protein blocks (PBs). PBs are short motifs capable of representing most of the local structural features of a protein backbone. Using derived PB substitution matrix and simple dynamic programming...
متن کاملFinding Compact Structural Motifs in Many Proteins
Multiple structural alignment is a fundamental problem in computational biology. Compared with sequence alignment, structural alignment is more powerful in detecting the evolutionary relationship of proteins. A variety of algorithms have been proposed to attack this problem, however, they are either heuristic without theoretical performance guarantee, or inefficient for employing an exhaustive ...
متن کاملA Method for Automatically Finding Structural Motifs in Proteins
A lot of work has gone into predicting the secondary (small scale) structure of proteins from their amino acid sequence. Current research indicates that there are limits on how well secondary structure can be predicted from local sequence information. To further advance prediction, the interactions between elements of secondary structure which are inherently non-local, have to be better underst...
