CMsearch: simultaneous exploration of protein sequence space and structure space improves not only protein homology detection but also protein structure prediction
MOTIVATION Protein homology detection, a fundamental problem in computational biology, is an indispensable step toward predicting protein structures and understanding protein functions. Despite the advances in recent decades on sequence alignment, threading and alignment-free methods, protein homology detection remains a challenging open problem. Recently, network methods that try to find trans...
متن کاملSimulating protein evolution in sequence and structure space.
Naturally occurring proteins comprise a special subset of all plausible sequences and structures selected through evolution. Simulating protein evolution with simplified and all-atom models has shed light on the evolutionary dynamics of protein populations, the nature of evolved sequences and structures, and the extent to which today's proteins are shaped by selection pressures on folding, stru...
متن کاملProtein structure and evolutionary history determine sequence space topology.
Understanding the observed variability in the number of homologs of a gene is a very important unsolved problem that has broad implications for research into coevolution of structure and function, gene duplication, pseudogene formation, and possibly for emerging diseases. Here, we attempt to define and elucidate some possible causes behind the observed irregularity in sequence space. We present...
متن کاملPredicting protein structure using only sequence information.
This paper presents results of blind predictions submitted to the CASP3 protein structure prediction experiment. We made predictions using the SAM-T98 method, an iterative hidden Markov model-based method for constructing protein family profiles. The method is purely sequence-based, using no structural information, and yet was able to predict structures as well as all but five of the structure-...
متن کاملNovel use of a genetic algorithm for protein structure prediction: searching template and sequence alignment space.
A novel genetic algorithm was applied to all CASP5 targets. The algorithm simultaneously searches template and alignment space. Results show that the current implementation of the method is perhaps most useful in recognizing and refining remote homology targets. This new method is briefly described and results are analyzed. Strengths and weaknesses of the current implementation of the algorithm...
