چکیده
In this study, a novel residue-residue contacts prediction approach based on evolutionary computation is presented. The prediction is based on four amino acids properties. In particular, we consider the hydrophobicity, the polarity, the charge and residues size. The prediction model consists of a set of rules that identifies contacts between amino acids.

متن کاملPrediction of residue-residue contacts from protein families using similarity kernels and least squares regularization
One of the most challenging and long-standing problems in computational biology is the prediction of three-dimensional protein structure from amino acid sequence. A promising approach to infer spatial proximity between residues is the study of evolutionary covariance from multiple sequence alignments, especially in light of recent algorithmic improvements and the fast growing size of sequence d...
متن کاملFrom HP Lattice Models to Real Proteins: Coordination Number Prediction Using Learning Classifier Systems
Prediction of the coordination number (CN) of residues in proteins based solely on protein sequence has recently received renewed attention. At the same time, simplified protein models such as the HP model have been used to understand protein folding and protein structure prediction. These models represent the sequence of a protein using two residue types: hydrophobic and polar, and restrict th...
متن کاملPrediction of the Number of Residue Contacts in Proteins
Knowing the number of residue contacts in a protein is crucial for deriving constraints useful in modeling protein folding and/or scoring remote homology search. Here we focus on the prediction of residue contacts and show that this figure can be predicted with a neural network based method. The accuracy of the prediction is 12 percentage points higher than that of a simple statistical method. ...
متن کاملAccurate Prediction of Protein Catalytic Residues by Side Chain Orientation and Residue Contact Density
Prediction of protein catalytic residues provides useful information for the studies of protein functions. Most of the existing methods combine both structure and sequence information but heavily rely on sequence conservation from multiple sequence alignments. The contribution of structure information is usually less than that of sequence conservation in existing methods. We found a novel struc...
