Influence of Stereochemistry in a Local Approach for Calculating Protein Conformations
Open accessPublished version of a preprint
Abstract
Protein structure prediction is generally based on the use of local conformational information coupled with long-range distance restraints. Such restraints can be derived from the knowledge of a template structure or the analysis of protein sequence alignment in the framework of models arising from the physics of disordered systems. The accuracy of approaches based on sequence alignment, however, is limited in the case where the number of aligned sequences is small. Here, we derive protein conformations using only local conformations knowledge by means of the interval Branch-and-Prune algorithm. The computation efficiency is directly related to the knowledge of stereochemistry (bond angle and ω values) along the protein sequence and, in particular, to the variations of the torsion angle ω. The impact of stereochemistry variations is particularly strong in the case of protein topologies defined from numerous long-range restraints, as in the case of protein of β secondary structures. The systematic enumeration of the conformations improves the efficiency of the calculations. The analysis of DNA codons permits to connect the variations of torsion angle ω to the positions of rare DNA codons.

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.
