The prediction of protein contacts from multiple sequence alignments.
We have studied the question of how much extra predictive power the correlated mutational behaviour of pairs of amino acid residues separated along a sequence has concerning the likelihood of those residues being in contact in the folded protein. The mutational behaviour is deduced from multiple sequence alignments. Our findings are that there is, indeed, some valuable information available fro...
متن کاملProtEST: protein multiple sequence alignments from expressed sequence tags
MOTIVATION An automatic sequence searching method (ProtEST) is described which constructs multiple protein sequence alignments from protein sequences and translated expressed sequence tags (ESTs). ProtEST is more effective than a simple TBLASTN search of the query against the EST database, as the sequences are automatically clustered, assembled, made non-redundant, checked for sequence errors, ...
متن کاملUse of covariance analysis for the prediction of structural domain boundaries from multiple protein sequence alignments.
Current methods for identification of domains within protein sequences require either structural information or the identification of homologous domain sequences in different sequence contexts. Knowledge of structural domain boundaries is important for fold recognition experiments and structural determination by X-ray crystallography or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy using the divide-a...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Effects of Multiple Sequence Alignments in Protein Secondary Structure Prediction
Secondary structure prediction methods are widely used bioinformatics algorithms providing initial insights about protein structure from sequence information. Significant efforts to improve the prediction accuracy over the past years were made, specially the incorporation of information from multiple sequence alignments. This motivated the search for the factors contributing for this improvemen...
متن کاملGemi: PCR Primers Prediction from Multiple Alignments
Designing primers and probes for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a preliminary and critical step that requires the identification of highly conserved regions in a given set of sequences. This task can be challenging if the targeted sequences display a high level of diversity, as frequently encountered in microbiologic studies. We developed Gemi, an automated, fast, and easy-to-use bioinforma...
