To generate structures consistent with both the local and nonlocal interactions responsible for protein stability, 3 and 9 residue fragments of known structures with local sequences similar to the target sequence were assembled into complete tertiary structures using a Monte Carlo simulated annealin

β¦ Synopsis
Submissions in the ab initio category included predictions of secondary structure, three-dimensional coordinate sets, modes of oligomerization, and residue and secondary structure segment contact patterns. For secondary structure prediction, four groups showed sustained success according the the criterion Q 3 H 68 (Q 3 β«Ψβ¬ % of residues correctly assigned to the categories helix, strand, and other). The best program, Rost's PHD, scored over this threshold in 13 of its 16 assessable attempts. For the prediction of full three-dimensional coordinates, no group could claim sustained success in prediction of generally correct structures over a range of targets. However, satisfactory predictions were achieved in one case, pig NK-lysin (target 42), a 78-residue protein with three disulfide bridges. For the prediction of contacts, Olmea, Pazos, and Valencia have developed specialized methods for residue-residue proximity patterns, and Gerloff, Joachimiak, Cohen, and Benner for segment contacts.
