Ab Initio Protein Structure Prediction
Predicting protein 3D structures from the amino acid sequence still remains as an unsolved problem after five decades of efforts. If the target protein has a homologue already solved, the task is relatively easy and high-resolution models can be built by copying the framework of the solved structure. However, such a modelling procedure does not help answer the question of how and why a protein ...
متن کاملOptimizing weights of protein energy function to improve ab initio protein structure prediction
Predicting protein 3D structure from amino acid sequence remains as a challenge in the field of computational biology. If protein structure homologues are not found, one has to construct 3D structural conformations from the very beginning by the so-called ab initio approach, using some empirical energy functions. A successful algorithm in this category, Rosetta, creates an ensemble of decoy con...
متن کاملCrystal structure prediction of LiBeH3 using ab initio total-energy calculations and evolutionary simulations.
The stable crystal structure of LiBeH(3) is predicted on the basis of ab initio total-energy calculations using density-functional theory and an extended database of candidate structures and using global optimizations based on an evolutionary algorithm. At the level of density-functional theory, a CaSiO(3)_1-type structure with space group P2(1)/c, containing BeH(4) tetrahedra linked in chains,...
متن کاملAb initio protein structure prediction: progress and prospects.
Considerable recent progress has been made in the field of ab initio protein structure prediction, as witnessed by the third Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP3). In spite of this progress, much work remains, for the field has yet to produce consistently reliable ab initio structure prediction protocols. In this work, we review the features of current ab initio protocols in an at...
متن کاملContact order and ab initio protein structure prediction.
Although much of the motivation for experimental studies of protein folding is to obtain insights for improving protein structure prediction, there has been relatively little connection between experimental protein folding studies and computational structural prediction work in recent years. In the present study, we show that the relationship between protein folding rates and the contact order ...
