Three-dimensional protein structures usually contain regions of local order, called secondary structure, such as $\alpha$-helices and $\beta$-sheets. Secondary structure is characterized by the local rotational state of the protein…
We propose a novel method for refining force-field parameters of protein systems. In this method, the agreement of the secondary-structure stability and instability between the protein conformations obtained by experiments and those…
Many commonly used force fields for protein systems such as AMBER, CHARMM, GROMACS, OPLS, and ECEPP have amino-acid-independent force-field parameters of main-chain torsion-energy terms. Here, we propose a new type of amino-acid-dependent…
We introduce a lattice model of protein conformations which is able to reproduce second structures of proteins (alpha--helices and beta--sheets). This model is based on the following two main ideas. First, we model backbone parts of amino…
This paper deepens into the analysis of the protein secondary structure using Frenet frame to describe the curvature and torsion of the discrete curve formed by the protein $\alpha$-carbons. We show how a simple criterion based on the…
We have investigated the potential energy surfaces for alanine chains consisting of three and six amino acids. For these molecules we have calculated potential energy surfaces as a function of the Ramachandran angles Phi and Psi, which are…
In protein structure analysis, the accurate characterization of secondary structure elements is crucial for understanding protein function and dynamics. This paper presents a software system designed for the comprehensive analysis of the…
Predicting protein secondary structure using lattice model is one of the most studied computational problem in bioinformatics. Here secondary structure or three dimensional structure of protein is predicted from its amino acid sequence.…
Predicting protein secondary structures such as alpha helices, beta sheets, and coils from amino acid sequences is essential for understanding protein function. This work presents a transformer-based model that applies attention mechanisms…
Proteins are essential for life, and their structure determines their function. The protein secondary structure is formed by the folding of the protein primary structure, and the protein tertiary structure is formed by the bending and…
Folded proteins have a modular assembly. They are constructed from regular secondary structures like alpha-helices and beta-strands that are joined together by loops. Here we develop a visualization technique that is adapted to describe…
We modify and extend the recently developed statistical mechanical model for predicting the thermodynamic properties of chain molecules having noncovalent double-stranded conformations, as in RNA or ssDNA, and $\beta-$sheets in protein, by…
The paper presents a geometrical model for protein secondary structure analysis which uses only the positions of the $C_{\alpha}$-atoms. We construct a space curve connecting these positions by piecewise polynomial interpolation and…
The protein backbone is described as a smooth curved and twisted line in three-dimensional (3D) space and characterized by its curvature $\kappa(s)$ and torsion $\tau(s)$ both expressed as a function of arc length s. It is shown that the…
We use a free energy functional theory to elucidate general properties of heterogeneously ordering, fast folding proteins, and we test our conclusions with lattice simulations. We find that both structural and energetic heterogeneity can…
The Automated Protein Structure Analysis (APSA) method, which describes the protein backbone as a smooth line in 3-dimensional space and characterizes it by curvature kappa and torsion tau as a function of arc length s, was applied on 77…
Novel numerical techniques, validated by an analysis of barnase and chymotrypsin inhibitor, are used to elucidate the paramount role played by the geometry of the protein backbone in steering the folding to the correct native state. It is…
A reduced model, which can fold both helix and sheet structures, is proposed to study the problem of protein folding. The goal of this model is to find an unbiased effective potential that has included the effects of water and at the same…
We study the thermodynamic behavior of a model protein with 54 amino acids that forms a three-helix bundle in its native state. The model contains three types of amino acids and five to six atoms per amino acid and has the Ramachandran…
In this paper we experiment with using neural network structures to predict a protein's secondary structure ({\alpha} helix positions) from only its primary structure (amino acid sequence). We implement a fully connected neural network…
