Protein Structure Comparison through Fuzzy Contact Maps and the Universal Similarity Metric
نویسندگان
چکیده
Comparing protein structures, either to infer biological functionality or to assess protein structure predictions is an essential component of proteomic research. In this paper we extend our previous work on the use of the Universal Similarity Metric(USM) and Generalized Fuzzy Contact maps. More specifically we compare the impact that generalized fuzzy contact maps representations have on the assessment of protein similarity by means of the Universal Similarity Metric.

The Universal Similarity Metric, Applied to Contact Maps Comparison in A Two-Dimensional Space
Comparing protein structures based on their contact maps is an important problem in structural proteomics. Building a system for reconstructing protein tertiary structures from their contact maps is one of the motivations for devising novel contact map comparison algorithms. Several methods that address the contact map comparison problem have been designed which are briefly discussed in this th...
متن کاملCompression ratios based on the Universal Similarity Metric still yield protein distances far from CATH distances
Motivation: Kolmogorov complexity has inspired several alignmentfree distance measures, based on the comparison of lengths of compressions, which have been applied successfully in many areas. One of these measures, the so-called Universal Similarity Metric (USM), has been used by Krasnogor and Pelta to compare simple protein contact maps, showing that it yielded good clustering on four small da...
متن کاملSelecting protein fuzzy contact maps through information and structure measures
Protein contact maps are representations of the proteins three dimensional folding topology. A fuzzy generalization of contact maps (FGCM) provides to the researcher flexibility not present in standard (i.e. crisp) contact maps but it also changes the information content of the data. To aid in the rationale –rather than ad-hocselection of generalized contact maps parameters we introduce some un...
متن کاملA fuzzy sets based generalization of contact maps for the overlap of protein structures
The comparison of protein structures is an important problem in bioinformatics. As a protein biological role is derived from its three dimensional native state, the comparison of a new protein structure (with unknown function) with other protein structures (with known biological activity) can shed light into the biological role of the former. Consequently, advances in the comparison (and cluste...
متن کاملThe Universal Similarity Metric does not detect domain similarity
Kolmogorov complexity has inspired several alignment-free distance measures, based on the comparison of lengths of compressions, which have been applied successfully in many areas. One of these measures, the so-called Universal Similarity Metric, has been used by Krasnogor and Pelta to compare protein structures, showing that it yielded good clustering on several datasets. In this paper we repo...
