Aim - To gain structural insights for a
new protein sequence before
experimental elucidation takes place
Method - Extrapolation of the new
structure from that of related family
members
Alternative: ab initio (or de novo ) modeling
Sequence + theory  model
A range of techniques; mostly energy based
Very difficult to apply
Folds, families and motifs
Evolutionary patterns are
critical for successful
prediction of function

Should consider (2º) structure: domain
boundaries, motifs, location of loops,
active site residues, SS bonds...
Can’t recover from incorrect alignment!

Does the model match the template(s)?
Is the stereochemistry good? Energy ok?
Are amino acids in reasonable
environments?
What parts are conserved in the sequence
alignment?
What information can the model provide?
