## Abstract Proteins are generally classified into four structural classes: allβΞ± proteins, allβΞ² proteins, Ξ±+Ξ² proteins, and Ξ±/Ξ² proteins. In this article, a protein is expressed as a vector of 20βdimensional space, in which its 20 components are defined by the composition of its 20 amino acids. B

## Abstract An informationβtheoretical approach, which combines a sequence decomposition technique and a fuzzy clustering algorithm, is proposed for prediction of protein structural class. This approach could bypass the process of selecting and comparing sequence features as done previously. First,
Three-dimensional (3D) models of four CASP3 targets were calculated using a simple modeling procedure that includes prediction of regular secondary structure, analysis of possible β€-sheet topologies, assembly of amphiphilic helices and β€-sheets to bury their nonpolar surfaces, and adjustment of side
In least-squares fitting of protein circular dichroism (CD) spectra using basis CD spectra for the respective secondary structure components, as given by reference proteins of known structural composition, good fits of the CD spectrum do not necessarily correspond to appropriate fits of the underlyi
