  1. Chapter 7Protein and RNA Structure Prediction 暨南大學資訊工程學系 黃光璿 2004/05/24

  2. Proteins • Built from a repertoire of 20 amino acids

  3. 7.1 Amino Acids

  4. 胺基酸 • 中心碳 • 胺基（NH2） • COOH • 氫（H） • 側鏈（side chain, R）

  5. 同分異構物

  6. Fig. 7.2

  7. pH, pKa, and pI • pH • -log [H+] • pKa • = pH ~ half of the amino acid residues will dissociate (釋放出H+). • pI • = pH, isoelectric point for protein

  8. 7.2 Polypeptide Composition

  9. 7.3 Secondary Structure

  10. 7.3.1 Backbone Flexibility

  11. Conformation of Polypeptide Chain

  12. Ramachandran Plot N:藍 C:黑 O:紅 H:白

  13. 二級結構（Secondary Structure） • Alpha helix

  14. Beta sheet

  15. Beta turn

  16. Loop

  17. 7.3.2 Accuracy of Prediction • Computational methods • neural network • discrete-state models • hidden Markov models • nearest neighbor classification • evolutionary computation

  18. PHD, Predator • structure prediction algorithms • accuracies in the range 70% ~ 75%

  19. 7.3.3 Chou-Fasman Method

  20. Identifying Alpha Helices • Find all regions where four out of six have P(a)>100. • Extend the regions until four with P(a) < 100 in both directions. • If ΣP(a) > ΣP(b) and the stretch >5, then it is identified as a helix.

  21. Identifying Beta Sheets • Find all regions where four out of six have P(b)>100. • Extend the regions until four with P(b) < 100 in both directions. • If ΣP(b) > ΣP(a) and the average value of P(b) over the stretch >100, then it is identified as a helix.

  22. Resolving Overlapping Regions • Identified as helix if ΣP(a) > ΣP(b), as sheet if ΣP(b) > ΣP(a) over the overlapping regions.

  23. Identifying Turns • Let P(t) = f(i)xf(i+1)xf(i+2)xf(i+3) for each position i. • Identify as a turn if • P(t) > 0.000075; • The average of P(turn) over the four residues > 100; • ΣP(a) < ΣP(turn) > ΣP(b) over the four residues.

  24. 7.3.4 GOR Method • on a window of 17 residues

  25. 7.4 Tertiary and Quaternary Structure

  26. 折疊成立體的形狀 三級結構（Tertiary Structure）

  27. 四級結構（Quaternary Structure） • 數個三級結構結合成具有功能的大分子 人類的血球蛋白

  28. Driving Forces for Folding • electrostatic forces • hydrogen bonds • van der Waals forces • disulfide bonds • solvent interactions

  29. 7.4.1 Hydrophobicity (疏水性) • hydrophobic collapse • Tend to keep polar, charged residues on the surface. • The class of membrane-integral proteins is an exception.

  30. sickle-cell anemia (鐮狀細胞性貧血) • human hemoglobin: 2 alpha & 2 beta globins • charged glutamic acid residue  hydrophobic valine residues

  31. 7.4.2 Disulfide Bonds

  32. 7.4.3 Active Structures vs Most Stable Structures • Natural selection favors proteins that are both active and robust.

  33. Levinthal Paradox • in 1968 • 100 residues, each assume 3 different conformations • 3100 ~ 5x1047 possibilities • Suppose it takes 10-13 s for one trial. • Proteins fold by progressive stabilization of intermediates rather than by random search.

  34. 7.5 Algorithms for Modeling Protein Folding • Lattice Models • Off-Lattice Models

  35. 7.5.1 Lattice Models • Reduce the search space and make computing tractable.  Minimize free energy conformation

  36. HP-model • hydrophobic-polar model • Scoring is based on hydrophobic contacts. • Maximize the H-to-H contacts. • Fig. 7.8

  37. 7.5.2 Off-Lattice Models • Use RMSD (root mean square deviation) to measure the accuracy. • Determine Φ and Ψin the allowable region of the Ramachandran plot.

  38. 7.5.3 Energy Functions and Optimization • Problems • The exact forces that drive the folding process are not well understood. • It is too computationally expensive.

  39. Summary • model • representation • scoring function • search (optimization) • Folding@Home (V. Pande, Stanford)
