A Computational Pipeline for Protein Structure Prediction and Analysis at Genome Scale

PROSPECT-PSPP: an automatic computational pipeline for protein structure prediction

Knowledge of the detailed structure of a protein is crucial to our understanding of the biological functions of that protein. The gap between the number of solved protein structures and the number of protein sequences continues to widen rapidly in the post-genomics era due to long and expensive processes for solving structures experimentally. Computational prediction of structures from amino ac...

Characterization of protein structure and function at genome scale with a computational prediction pipeline.

Biochemical characterization of PE_PGRS61 family protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv reveals the binding ability to fibronectin

Objective(s): The periodic binding of protein expressed by Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv with the host cell receptor molecules i.e. fibronectin (Fn) is gaining significance because of its adhesive properties.  The genome sequencing of M. tuberculosis H37Rv revealed that the proline-glutamic (PE) proteins contain polymorphic GC-rich repetitive sequences (PGRS) which have clinical importance i...

Augur - a computational pipeline for whole genome microbial surface protein prediction and classification

UNLABELLED The analysis of protein function is a challenge and a major bottleneck towards well-annotated and analysed microbial genomes. In particular, bacterial surface proteins present an opportunity for pharmacological intervention and vaccine development. We present Augur, an automatic prediction pipeline that integrates major surface prediction algorithms and enables comparative analysis, ...

Protein Secondary Structure Prediction: a Literature Review with Focus on Machine Learning Approaches

DNA sequence, containing all genetic traits is not a functional entity. Instead, it transfers to protein sequences by transcription and translation processes. This protein sequence takes on a 3D structure later, which is a functional unit and can manage biological interactions using the information encoded in DNA. Every life process one can figure is undertaken by proteins with specific functio...
