Hidden Markov Models • Probabilistic model of a Multiple sequence alignment. • No indel penalties are needed • Experimentally derived information can be incorporated • Parameters are adjusted to represent observed variation. • Requires at least 20 sequences
The Evolution of a Sequence • Over long periods of time a sequence will acquire random mutations. • These mutations may result in a new amino acid at a given position, the deletion of an amino acid, or the introduction of a new one. • Over VERY long periods of time two sequences may diverge so much that their relationship can not see seen through the direct comparison of their sequences.
Hidden Markov Models • Pair-wise methods rely on direct comparisons between two sequences. • In order to over come the differences in the sequences, a third sequence is introduced, which serves as an intermediate. • A high hit between the first and third sequences as well as a high hit between the second and third sequence, implies a relationship between the first and second sequences.Transitive relationship
Introducing the HMM • The intermediate sequence is kind of like a missing link. • The intermediate sequence does not have to be a real sequence. • The intermediate sequence becomes the HMM.
Introducing the HMM • The HMM is a mix of all the sequences that went into its making. • The score of a sequence against the HMM shows how well the HMM serves as an intermediate of the sequence. • How likely it is to be related to all the other sequences, which the HMM represents.

Dirichlet Mixtures • Additional information to expand potential amino acids in individual sites. • Observed frequency of amino acids seen in certain chemical environments • aromatic • acidic • basic • neutral • polar

Proline • Because of its structure, proline is typically excluded from a helices except in the first three positions at the amino end.
b Structure b strand - single run of amino acids in b conformation b sheet- multiple b strands which are hydrogen bonded to yield a sheet like structure. b bulge - disruption of normal hydrogen bonding in a b sheet by amino acid(s) that will not fit into the sheet -for example: proline

Six classes of structure • Class a- bundled a helices connected by loops. • Class b- sandwich or barrel comprised entirely of b sheets typically anti-parallel. • Class a / b mainly parallel b sheets with intervening a helices. • Class a + b - segregated a helices and anti-parallel b sheets • Multi-domain • Membrane proteins

Turn - short, regular loop. • Difference in frequency of amino acids at positions 1-4 of the turn. • Coils (not coiled coil) • Random turns or irregular structure.
Disulfide bridges • Crosslink of two cysteine residues. • Distance between sulfur = 3 Angstroms.

Chou - Fasman Prediction of Secondary Structure • Based upon analysis of known structures (1974). • Frequency of occurrence of each amino acid in: • a helix • b strand • turn
Chou - Fasman Prediction • List is then analyzed for stretches of amino acids that have a common tendency to form a given secondary structure. • Extend until a region of high probability for either a turn or region with a low probability of both a or b is encountered. • Window is typically <10
