Erratum: Evaluation of methods for the prediction of membrane spanning regions

In Silico and in Vitroinvestigations on cry4aand cry11atoxins of Bacillus thuringiensis var Israelensis

In the present study we attempted to correlate the structure and function of the cry11a (72 kDa) and cry4a (135 kDa) proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis. Homology modeling and secondary structure predictions were done to locate most probable regions for finding helices or strands in these proteins. The JPRED (JPRED consensus secondary structure prediction server) secondary struct...

Evaluation of methods for the prediction of membrane spanning regions

Motivation: A variety of tools are available to predict the topology of transmembrane proteins. To date no independent evaluation of the performance of these tools has been published. A better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the different tools would guide both the biologist and the bioinformatician to make better predictions of membrane protein topology. Results: Here we prese...

Evaluation of co-kriging different methods for rainfall estimation in arid region (Central Kavir basin in Iran)

Rainfall is considered a highly valuable climatologic resource, particularly in arid regions. As one of the primaryinputs that drive watershed dynamics, rainfall has been shown to be crucial for accurate distributed hydrologicmodeling. Precipitation is known only at certain locations; interpolation procedures are needed to predict this variablein other regions. In this study, the ordinary cokri...

Assessment of protein side-chain conformation prediction methods in different residue environments.

Computational prediction of side-chain conformation is an important component of protein structure prediction. Accurate side-chain prediction is crucial for practical applications of protein structure models that need atomic-detailed resolution such as protein and ligand design. We evaluated the accuracy of eight side-chain prediction methods in reproducing the side-chain conformations of exper...
