title: Biomolecular structure prediction at a low resolution using a neural network and the double-iterated Kalman filter technique.
abstract: We report the application of an integrated computational approach for biomolecular structure determination at a low resolution. In particular, a neural network is trained to predict the spatial proximity of C-alpha atoms that are less than a given threshold apart, whereas a Kalman filter algorithm is employed to outline the biomolecular fold, with a constraints set that includes these pairwise atomic distances, and the distances and angles that define the structure as it is known from the protein's sequence. The results for Crambin demonstrate that this integrated approach is useful for molecular structure prediction at a low resolution and may also complement existing experimental distance data for a protein structure determination.
