Structure Prediction
Tertiary protein structure: protein folding
Three main approaches:
[1] experimental determination
(X-ray crystallography, NMR)
[2] Comparative modeling (based on homology)
[3] Ab initio (de novo) prediction
(Dr. Ingo Ruczinski at JHSPH)
Experimental approaches to protein structure
[1] X-ray crystallography
-- Used to determine 80% of structures
-- Requires high protein concentration
-- Requires crystals
-- Able to trace amino acid side chains
-- Earliest structure solved was myoglobin
[2] NMR
-- Magnetic field applied to proteins in solution
-- Largest structures: 350 amino acids (40 kD)
-- Does not require crystallization
Steps in obtaining a protein structure
Target selection
Obtain, characterize protein
Determine, refine, model the structure

New PDB structures
• April 08, 2008 – 50,000 proteins, 25 new experimentally
determined structures each day

New folds
Example 1wey
Ab initio protein prediction
• Starts with an attempt to derive secondary structure from the
amino acid sequence
– Predicting the likelihood that a subsequence will fold into an alphahelix, beta-sheet, or coil, using physicochemical parameters or HMMs
and ANNs
– Able to accurately predict 3/4 of all local structures

Ab Inito Prediction
Secondary structure prediction
Chou and Fasman (1974) developed an algorithm
based on the frequencies of amino acids found in
a helices, b-sheets, and turns.
Proline: occurs at turns, but not in a helices.
GOR (Garnier, Osguthorpe, Robson): related algorithm
Modern algorithms: use multiple sequence alignments
and achieve higher success rate (about 70-75%)

Neural Networks
Training the Network
• Use PDB entries with validated secondary
structures
• Measures of accuracy
– Q3 Score percentage of protein correctly predicted
(trains to predicting the most abundant structure)
– You get 50% if you just predict everything to be a
coil
– Most methods get around 60% with this metric
Correlation Coeficient
• How correlated are the predictions for coils,
helix and Beta-sheets to the real structures
• This ignores what we really want to get to
– If the real structure has 3 coils, do we predict 3
coils?
• Segment overlap score (Sov) gives credit to
how protein like the structure is, but it is
correlated with Q3
Fold recognition (structural profiles)
• Attempts to find the best fit of a raw
polypeptide sequence onto a library of known
protein folds
• A prediction of the secondary structure of the
unknown is made and compared with the
secondary structure of each member of the
library of folds
Threading
• Takes the fold recognition process a step
further:
– Empirical-energy functions for residue pair
interactions are used to mount the unknown onto
the putative backbone in the best possible
manner
