Improving the prediction of disease-related variants using protein three-dimensional structure

Prediction of Protein Three-Dimensional Structure

Protein Three Dimensional Structure Prediction on Object Oriented Database

We de ned the protein inverse folding problem with an object oriented database and an empirical hydrophobic penalty function, which was derived from the number of residues around each residue in a protein three dimensional structure. Under the database management system, we compiled the known structures of proteins and the evaluation function into one functional database. In order to compare ou...

Improving protein structure prediction using multiple sequence-based contact predictions.

Although residue-residue contact maps dictate the topology of proteins, sequence-based ab initio contact predictions have been found little use in actual structure prediction due to the low accuracy. We developed a composite set of nine SVM-based contact predictors that are used in I-TASSER simulation in combination with sparse template contact restraints. When testing the strategy on 273 nonho...

the underlying structure of language proficiency and the proficiency level

هدف از انجام این تخقیق بررسی رابطه احتمالی بین سطح مهارت زبان خارجی (foreign language proficiency) و ساختار مهارت زبان خارجی بود. تعداد 314 زبان آموز مونث و مذکر که عمدتا دانشجویان رشته های زبان انگلیسی در سطوح کارشناسی و کارشناسی ارشد بودند در این تحقیق شرکت کردند. از لحاظ سطح مهارت زبان خارجی شرکت کنندگان بسیار با هم متفاوت بودند، (75 نفر سطح پیشرفته، 113 نفر سطح متوسط، 126 سطح مقدماتی). کلا ...

Protein Structure Prediction Using String Kernels Protein Structure Prediction Using String Kernels Protein Structure Prediction Using String Kernels

With recent advances in large scale sequencing technologies, we have seen an exponential growth in protein sequence information. Currently, our ability to produce sequence information far out-paces the rate at which we can produce structural and functional information. Consequently, researchers increasingly rely on computational techniques to extract useful information from known structures con...
