Chou-Fasman Secondary Structure Prediction
Amino Acid Propensities
From a database of experimental 3D structures, calculate the
propensity for a given amino acid to adopt a certain type of
secondary structure

Example:
N(Ala)=2,000; N(tot)=20,000; N(Ala, helix)=500; N(helix)=4,000.
P(Ala,helix) = [N(Ala,helix)/N(helix)] / [N(Ala)/N(tot)]
P(Ala,helix) = [500/4,000]/[2,000/20,000] = 1.25
Used in Chou-Fasman algorithm
Chou-Fasman Secondary Structure Prediction
• Assign all of the residues in the peptide the appropriate set of parameters.
• Scan through the peptide and identify regions where 4 out of 6 contiguous residues have P(a-helix) > 100.
• That region is declared an alpha-helix. Extend the helix in both directions until a set of four contiguous
residues that have an average P(a-helix) < 100 is reached. That is declared the end of the helix.
If the segment defined by this procedure is longer than 5 residues and the average
P(a-helix) > P(b-sheet) for that segment, the segment can be assigned as a helix.
• Repeat this procedure to locate all of the helical regions in the sequence.
• Scan through the peptide and identify a region where 3 out of 5 of the residues have a value of
P(b-sheet) > 100. That region is declared as a beta-sheet. Extend the sheet in both directions
until a set of four contiguous residues that have an average P(b-sheet) < 100 is reached.
That is declared the end of the beta-sheet. Any segment of the region located by this procedure
is assigned as a beta-sheet if the average P(b-sheet) > 105 and the average P(b-sheet) > P(a-helix)
for that region.
• Any region containing overlapping alpha-helical and beta-sheet assignments are taken to be helical if the
average P(a-helix) > P(b-sheet) for that region. It is a beta sheet if the average
P(b-sheet) > P(a-helix) for that region.
•To identify a bend at residue number j, calculate the following value
p(t) = f(j)f(j+1)f(j+2)f(j+3)
where the f(j+1) value for the j+1 residue is used, the f(j+2) value for the j+2 residue is used and
the f(j+3) value for the j+3 residue is used. If: (1) p(t) > 0.000075; (2) the average value for
P(turn) > 1.00 in the tetrapeptide; and (3) the averages for the tetrapeptide obey the inequality
P(a-helix) < P(turn) > P(b-sheet), then a beta-turn is predicted at that location.

PsiPred
PSIPRED is a simple and reliable secondary structure prediction method, incorporating
two feed-forward neural networks which perform an analysis on output obtained from
PSI-BLAST (Position Specific Iterated - BLAST).
Version 2.0 of PSIPRED includes a new algorithm which averages the output from up to
4 separate neural networks in the prediction process to further increase
prediction accuracy.
Using a very stringent cross validation method to evaluate the method's performance,
PSIPRED 2.0 is capable of achieving an average Q3 score of nearly 78%.
Predictions produced by PSIPRED were also submitted to the CASP4 server and
assessed during the CASP4 meeting, which took place in December 2000 at Asilomar.
PSIPRED 2.0 achieved an average Q3 score of 80.6% across all 40 submitted target
domains with no obvious sequence similarity to structures present in PDB,
which placed PSIPRED in first place out of 20 evaluated methods
(an earlier version of PSIPRED was also ranked first in CASP3 held in 1998).
http://bioinf.cs.ucl.ac.uk/psipred/psiform.html
PSI-BLAST
Position specific iterative BLAST (PSI-BLAST) refers to a feature of BLAST 2.0
in which a profile (or position specific scoring matrix, PSSM) is constructed
(automatically) from a multiple alignment of the highest scoring hits in an initial
BLAST search.
The PSSM is generated by calculating position-specific scores for each position in
the alignment. Highly conserved positions receive high scores and weakly conserved
positions receive scores near zero.
The profile is used to perform a second (etc.) BLAST search and the results of each
"iteration" are used to refine the profile.
This iterative searching strategy results in increased sensitivity.

Modeling by Homology (Comparative Modeling)
Comparative modeling predicts the three-dimensional structure of a given
protein sequence (target) based primarily on its alignment to one or more proteins
of known structure (templates).
The prediction process consists of
• fold assignment,
• target template alignment,
• model building, and
• model evaluation and refinement.
The number of protein sequences that can be modeled and the accuracy of
the predictions are increasing steadily because of the growth in the number of
known protein structures and because of the improvements in the modeling
software.
Further advances are necessary in recognizing weak sequence structure
similarities, aligning sequences with structures, modeling of rigid body shifts,
distortions, loops and side chains, as well as detecting errors in a model.
Despite these problems, it is currently possible to model with useful accuracy
significant parts of approximately one third of all known protein sequences.

Fold Recognition (Threading)
Methods of protein fold recognition attempt to detect similarities between
protein 3D structure that are not accompanied by any significant sequence similarity.
The unifying theme of these appraoches is to try and find folds that are
compatible with a particular sequence. Unlike sequence-only comparison,
these methods take advantage of the extra information made available by
3D structure information.
Rather than predicting how a sequence will fold, they predict how well a fold
will fit a sequence.
Fold Recognition (Threading) – Why ?
• Secondary structure is more conserved than
primary structure
• Tertiary structure is more conserved than
secondary structure
• Therefore very remote relationships can be
better detected through 2o or 3o structural
homology instead of sequence homology
Fold Recognition (Threading)
Fold Recognition (Threading) – 2 Kinds
• 2D Threading or Prediction Based Methods
(PBM)
– Predict secondary structure (SS) or ASA of query
– Evaluate on basis of SS and/or ASA matches
• 3D Threading or Distance Based Methods
(DBM)
– Create a 3D model of the structure
– Evaluate using a distance-based “hydrophobicity” or
pseudo-thermodynamic potential
Fold Recognition
• Database of 3D structures and sequences
– Protein Data Bank (or non-redundant subset)
• Query sequence
– Sequence < 25% identity to known structures
• Alignment protocol
– Dynamic programming
• Evaluation protocol
– Distance-based potential or secondary structure
• Ranking protocol

Ab Initio Prediction
• Predicting the 3D structure without any “prior knowledge”
• Used when homology modelling or threading have failed
(no homologues are evident)
• Equivalent to solving the “Protein Folding Problem”
• Still a research problem
