We present an analysis of the blind predictions submitted to the fold recognition category for the second meeting on the Critical Assessment of techniques for protein Structure Prediction. Our method achieves fold recognition from predicted secondary structure sequences using hidden Markov models (H

Short-range interactions for secondary structures of proteins are evaluated as potentials of mean force from the observed frequencies of secondary structures in known protein structures which are assumed to have an equilibrium distribution with the Boltzmann factor of secondary structure energies. A
Several methods for determination of the secondary structure of proteins by spectroscopic measurements are reviewed. Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy provides rapid determinations of protein secondary structure with dilute solutions and a way to rapidly assess conformational changes resulting fr
We discuss the construction of a simple, off-lattice model protein with a comparatively detailed representation of the protein backbone, and use it to address some general aspects of the folding kinetics of a small helical protein and two peptide fragments. The model makes use of an associative memo
The available experimental data on the kinetics of unfolding and refolding of small proteins are reviewed. Excluding slow transitions in the unfolded protein due to cis- trans isomerization of peptide bonds, the rate-limiting transition state in both unfolding and refolding is concluded to be a high
## Abstract The protein folding process is described by a cluster model based on the assumption that local structures or clusters are formed at an early stage in different regions of the polypeptide chain. Possible local structural elements in a globular protein are helices, bends, and hydrophobic
