19 From the contact map to the 3D structure Two methods have been proposed : 1. Bohr et al., Protein Structure from distance Inequalities J.Mol. Biol. 1993, 231: => based on a steepest descent procedure 2. Vendruscolo and Domany Fold. Des. 1998, 2: => based on a modified Metropolis procedure

25 Prediction of Contact Maps

26 Prediction of Contact Maps Several methods have been applied: Bohr et al., FEBS :43-46 => based on neural networks Göbel et al., PROTEINS : => based on correlated mutations in proteins Thomas et al., Prot. Eng : => based on a statistical method and evolution information Olmea and Valencia Fold. Des :S25-S32 => based on correlated mutations and other information Fariselli and Casadio Prot. Eng :15-21 => based on neural networks and evolutionary information Fariselli et al., CASP4/ and Prot. Eng. in press => Neural networks and other information Pollastri and Baldi al., Bioinformatics S62-S70 S70 => Recurrent Neural networks

35 Relation between the number of contacts and the protein length ts mber of contact Num Protein length

36 Evaluation of the efficiency of contact map predictions 1) Accuracy: A = Ncp * / Ncp where Ncp * and Ncp are the number of correctly assigned contacts and that of total predicted contacts, respectively. 2) Improvement over a random predictor : R = A / (Nc/Np) where Nc/Np is the accuracy of a random predictor ; Nc is the number of real contacts in the protein ti of flength thlp, and Np are all the possible contacts t 3) Difference in the distribution of the inter-residue distances in the 3D structure for predicted pairs compared with all pair distances in the structure (Pazos et al., 1997): Xd= i=1,n (P ic -P ia ) / n d i where n is the number of bins of the distance distribution (15 equally distributed bins from 4 to 60Å cluster all the possible distances of residue pairs observed in the protein structure); d i is the upper limit (normalised to 60 Å) for each bin, e.g. 8 Å for the 4 to 8 Å bin; P ic and P ia are the percentage of predicted contact pairs (with distance between d i and d i-1 ) and that of all possible pairs respectively
