Structural Property Prediction

While many good textbooks are available on Protein Structure, Molecular Simulations, Thermodynamics and Bioinformatics methods in general, there is no good introductory level book for the field of Structural Bioinformatics. This book aims to give an introduction into Structural Bioinformatics, which is where the previous topics meet to explore three dimensional protein structures through computational analysis. We provide an overview of existing computational techniques, to validate, simulate, predict and analyse protein structures. More importantly, it will aim to provide practical knowledge about how and when to use such techniques. We will consider proteins from three major vantage points: Protein structure quantification, Protein structure prediction, and Protein simulation & dynamics. Some structural properties of proteins that are closely linked to their function may be easier (or much faster) to predict from sequence than the complete tertiary structure; for example, secondary structure, surface accessibility, flexibility, disorder, interface regions or hydrophobic patches. Serving as building blocks for the native protein fold, these structural properties also contain important structural and functional information not apparent from the amino acid sequence. Here, we will first give an introduction into the application of machine learning for structural property prediction, and explain the concepts of cross-validation and benchmarking. Next, we will review various methods that incorporate knowledge of these concepts to predict those structural properties, such as secondary structure, surface accessibility, disorder and flexibility, and aggregation.
