In unison: regularization of protein secondary structure predictions that makes use of multiple sequence alignments.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method whose purpose is to post-process the fuzzy results of secondary structure prediction methods that use multiple sequence alignments, in order to obtain 'realistic' secondary structures, i.e., secondary structure elements whose length is greater than or equal to some predefined minimum length. This regularization helps with interpretation of the secondary structure prediction.

Exploring the limits of nearest neighbour secondary structure prediction.
This paper presents a simple and robust secondary structure prediction scheme (SIMPA96) based on an updated version of the nearest neighbour method. Using a larger database of known structures, the Blosum 62 substitution matrix and a regularization algorithm, the three state prediction accuracy is increased by 4.7 percentage points to 67.7% for a single sequence and up to 72.8% when using multi...
متن کاملComputational methods for protein secondary structure prediction using multiple sequence alignments.
Efforts to use computers in predicting the secondary structure of proteins based only on primary structure information started over a quarter century ago [1-3]. Although the results were encouraging initially, the accuracy of the pioneering methods generally did not attain the level required for using predictions of secondary structures reliably in modelling the three-dimensional topology of pr...
متن کاملLearning Models for Aligning Protein Sequences with Predicted Secondary Structure
Accurately aligning distant protein sequences is notoriously difficult. A recent approach to improving alignment accuracy is to use additional information such as predicted secondary structure. We introduce several new models for scoring alignments of protein sequences with predicted secondary structure, which use the predictions and their confidences to modify both the substitution and gap cos...
متن کاملAligning Protein Sequences with Predicted Secondary Structure
Accurately aligning distant protein sequences is notoriously difficult. Since the amino acid sequence alone often does not provide enough information to obtain accurate alignments under the standard alignment scoring functions, a recent approach to improving alignment accuracy is to use additional information such as secondary structure. We make several advances in alignment of protein sequence...
متن کاملStatAlign 2.0: combining statistical alignment with RNA secondary structure prediction
MOTIVATION Comparative modeling of RNA is known to be important for making accurate secondary structure predictions. RNA structure prediction tools such as PPfold or RNAalifold use an aligned set of sequences in predictions. Obtaining a multiple alignment from a set of sequences is quite a challenging problem itself, and the quality of the alignment can affect the quality of a prediction. By im...
