A thermodynamic model describing formation of alpha-helices by peptides and proteins in the absence of specific tertiary interactions has been developed. The model combines free energy terms defining alpha-helix stability in aqueous solution and terms describing immersion of every helix or fragment

A new dataset of 396 protein domains is developed and used to evaluate the performance of the protein secondary structure prediction algorithms DSC, PHD, NNSSP, and PREDATOR. The maximum theoretical Q 3 accuracy for combination of these methods is shown to be 78%. A simple consensus prediction on th
Analysis of our fold recognition results in the 3rd Critical Assessment in Structure Prediction (CASP3) experiment, using the programs THREADER 2 and GenTHREADER, shows an encouraging level of overall success. Of the 23 submitted predictions, 20 targets showed no clear sequence similarity to protein
A new and more accurate method has been developed for predicting the backbone U-turn positions (where the chain reverses global direction) and the dominant secondary structure elements between U-turns in globular proteins. The current approach uses sequence-specific secondary structure propensities
