Comparison study on statistical features of predicted secondary structures for protein structural class prediction: From content to position.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many content-based statistical features of secondary structural elements (CBF-PSSEs) have been proposed and achieved promising results in protein structural class prediction, but until now position distribution of the successive occurrences of an element in predicted secondary structure sequences hasn't been used. It is necessary to extract some appropriate position-based features of the secondary structural elements for prediction task.

Results

We proposed some position-based features of predicted secondary structural elements (PBF-PSSEs) and assessed their intrinsic ability relative to the available CBF-PSSEs, which not only offers a systematic and quantitative experimental assessment of these statistical features, but also naturally complements the available co
