Abstract
Prediction of a protein's tertiary structure from its sequence information alone is considered a major task in modern computational biology. In order to closer the gap between protein sequences to its tertiary structures, we discuss the correlation between protein sequence and local tertiary structure information in this paper. The strategy we used in this work is predict small portions (local) of protein tertiary structure with high confidence from conserved protein sequences, which are called “protein sequence motifs”. 799 protein sequence motifs that transcend protein family boundaries were obtained from our previous work. The prediction accuracy generated from the best group of protein sequence motifs always keep higher than 90% while more than 8% of the independent testing data segments are predicted. Since the most meaningful result published in latest publication is merely 70.02% accuracy under the coverage of 4.45%, the research results achieved in this paper are obviously outperformed. Besides, we also set up a stricter evaluation to our prediction to further understand the relation between protein sequence motifs and tertiary structure predictions. The results suggest that the hidden sequence-to-structure relationship can be uncovered using the Super Granule SVM Model with the Chou-Fasman Parameter. With the high local tertiary structure prediction accuracy provided in this article, the hidden relation between protein primary sequences and their 3D structure are uncovered considerably.
