Three-dimensional protein structure prediction: Methods and computational strategies

M Dorn, MB e Silva, LS Buriol, LC Lamb - Computational biology and …, 2014 - Elsevier
A long standing problem in structural bioinformatics is to determine the three-dimensional (3-
D) structure of a protein when only a sequence of amino acid residues is given. Many …

Statistical potential for assessment and prediction of protein structures

M Shen, A Sali - Protein science, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Protein structures in the Protein Data Bank provide a wealth of data about the interactions
that determine the native states of proteins. Using the probability theory, we derive an atomic …

Residue–residue potentials with a favorable contact pair term and an unfavorable high packing density term, for simulation and threading

S Miyazawa, RL Jernigan - Journal of molecular biology, 1996 - Elsevier
Attractive inter-residue contact energies for proteins have been re-evaluated with the same
assumptions and approximations used originally by us in 1985, but with a significantly larger …

Detecting subtle sequence signals: a Gibbs sampling strategy for multiple alignment

CE Lawrence, SF Altschul, MS Boguski, JS Liu… - science, 1993 - science.org
A wealth of protein and DNA sequence data is being generated by genome projects and
other sequencing efforts. A crucial barrier to deciphering these sequences and …

Implicit solvent models

B Roux, T Simonson - Biophysical chemistry, 1999 - Elsevier
Implicit solvent models for biomolecular simulations are reviewed and their underlying
statistical mechanical basis is discussed. The fundamental quantity that implicit models seek …

Distance‐scaled, finite ideal‐gas reference state improves structure‐derived potentials of mean force for structure selection and stability prediction

H Zhou, Y Zhou - Protein science, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
The distance‐dependent structure‐derived potentials developed so far all employed a
reference state that can be characterized as a residue (atom)‐averaged state. Here, we …

Glycyl tRNA synthetase mutations in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2D and distal spinal muscular atrophy type V

Conservation and prediction of solvent accessibility in protein families

B Rost, C Sander - Proteins: Structure, Function, and …, 1994 - Wiley Online Library
Currently, the prediction of three‐dimensional (3D) protein structure from sequence alone is
an exceedingly difficult task. As an intermediate step, a much simpler task has been pursued …
