Protein secondary structure prediction in different structural classes.
Information about the secondary structure of a protein can be helpful in understanding its native folded state. In previous work, it was shown that the medium-range interactions predominate in all-alpha class and the long-range interactions predominate in all-beta class proteins. Based on this, in this work the performance of several structure prediction methods in different structural classes of globular proteins was analyzed. It was found that all the methods predict the secondary structures of all-alpha proteins more accurately than other classes.
