Bayesian statistical analysis of protein side‐chain rotamer preferences

Open access
Dunbrack, Roland L., Cohen, Fred E.·1997·Protein Science

Abstract

We present a Bayesian statistical analysis of the conformations of side chains in proteins from the Protein Data Bank. This is an extension of the backbone‐dependent rotamer library, and includes rotamer populations and average x angles for a full range of ø,ψ values. The Bayesian analysis used here provides a rigorous statistical method for taking account of varying amounts of data. Bayesian statistics requires the assumption of a prior distribution for parameters over their range of possible values. This prior distribution can be derived from previous data or from pooling some of the present data. The prior distribution is combined with the data to form the posterior distribution , which is a compromise between the prior distribution and the data. For the X 2 , X 3 , and X 4 rotamer prior distributions, we assume that the probability of each rotamer type is dependent only on the previous X rotamer in the chain. For the backbone‐dependence of the x 1 rotamers, we derive prior distributions from the product of the ø‐dependent and ψ‐dependent probabilities. Molecular mechanics calculations with the CHARMM22 potential show a strong similarity with the experimental distributions, indicating that proteins attain their lowest energy rotamers with respect to local backbone‐side‐chain interactions. The new library is suitable for use in homology modeling, protein folding simulations, and the refinement of X‐ray and NMR structures.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
