  The Bioinformatics Center at Rensselaer and Wadsworth. Research -- Protein Structure Prediction
Introduction: Prediction of protein structure is one of the most challenging fields of bioinformatics.
Protein structure is important for various aspects of basic science and applied research on proteins.

  Protein structure prediction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Protein structure prediction is one of the most significant technologies pursued by computational structural biology and theoretical chemistry.
Despite community-wide efforts in structural genomics, the output of experimentally determined protein structures - typically by time-consuming and relatively expensive X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy - is lagging far behind the output of protein sequences.
The number of possible structures that proteins may possess is extremely large, as highlighted by the Levinthal paradox.

 MLNNg: Protein Structure Prediction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Even if the number of proteins whose primary sequence is known counts in the number of millions, only few thousands of them have been crystallized and their 3D structure deposited in the Protein Data Bank Unfortunately, neither alternative approaches based on nuclear magnetic resonance cannot be applied at the genomic scale.
Prediction of disulfide bridges from sequence is thus one of the important (and difficult) tasks in structural genomics.
In this way, the task of predicting the tertiary structure of a protein is splitted in two steps: initially a reliable predictor of secondary structure must be realized (here), then a predictor for the coarse-grained contact map can be used to identify contacts between the segments.

 Rising accuracy of protein secondary structure prediction
An extreme simplification is the prediction of protein structure in one dimension (1D), as represented by strings of, e.g., secondary structure, or residue solvent accessibility.
The typical scenario in which secondary structure predictions help to learn about function are experts combining predictions and their intuition, most often to find similarities to proteins of known function but insignificant sequence similarity [196, 197, 40, 198, 199, 200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207].
Protein secondary structure formation is influenced by long-range interactions [231, 46, 47] and by the environment [1, 232].

 Sisyphus and protein structure prediction
Currently, databases for protein sequence (Bairoch and Apweiler, 1997) and protein structure (Bernstein et al., 1977) are expanding rapidly due to large scale sequencing projects (Oliver et al., 1992; Fleischmann et al., 1995; Fraser et al., 1995; Goffeau et al., 1996; Johnston et al., 1996) and improvements in experimental determination of 3D structures (Lattman, 1994).
In contrast, the mean-force-potentials, derived from databases of protein structure (Sippl, 1990), attempt to describe the free-energy of the molecule.
Native 3D structures of proteins are encoded by a linear sequence of amino acid residues.

For secondary structure prediction this provision yielded a significant increase in performance [27].
Profiles in the HSSP database were constructed for a given protein by aligning the sequence of the protein with homologous sequences and calculating an amino acid frequency profile.

 Sisyphus and protein structure prediction
The goal is to predict whether the residue at the centre of a segment of typically 13-21 adjacent residues is in a helix, strand or in none of the two (no regular secondary structure, often referred to as the 'coil' or 'loop' state).
Various methods successfully use secondary structure predictions as a first step, e.g., prediction-based threading (indeed one of the problems of the Asilomar 1996 prediction contest was that many developers of threading algorithms used the same PHD secondary structure predictions as a first step), inter-strand, and inter-residue distance predictions.
Fortunately, the prediction task is simplified by strong environmental constraints on transmembrane proteins: the lipid bilayer of the membrane reduces the degrees of freedom to such an extent that 3D structure formation becomes almost a 2D problem.

 GMD Successful at a World-Wide Protein Structure Prediction Experiment
A blind prediction is a structure prediction, for which the actual structure is not known at the time of the prediction, but will become available soon thereafter for evaluation.
Here the structure prediction of the sequence in question is not based on a homologue among the structurally known proteins, most often because no such homologue exists.
The goal is to predict the structure of the molecular complex consisting of the protein and the bound ligand.
