1. 1. Method for recognizing local descriptors of protein structures using Hidden Markov Models

   University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Patrik Björkholm; [2008]
   Keywords : Bioinformatics;

   Abstract : Being able to predict the sequence-structure relationship in proteins will extend the scope of many bioinformatics tools relying on structure information. Here we use Hidden Markov models (HMM) to recognize and pinpoint the location in target sequences of local structural motifs (local descriptors of protein structure, LDPS) These substructures are composed of three or more segments of amino acid backbone structures that are in proximity with each other in space but not necessarily along the amino acid sequence.

   Author : Christoffer Andersson; [2005]
   Keywords : redundancy; BLAT; genomic positions; profile hidden Markov models; G-protein coupled receptors;

   Abstract : The increasing number of biological databases today requires that users are able to search more efficiently among as well as in individual databases. One of the most widespread problems is redundancy, i.e. the problem of duplicated information in sets of data. READ MORE
