X Abstract

A method is presented for protein secondary structure prediction based on a neural network. A training phase was used to teach the network to recognize the relation between secondary structure and amino acid sequences on a sample set of 48 proteins of known structure. On a separate test set of 14 proteins of known structure, the method achieved a maximum overall predictive accuracy of 63% for three states: helix, sheet, and coil. A numerical measure of helix and sheet tendency for each residue was obtained from the calculations. When predictions were filtered to include only the strongest 31% of predictions, the predictive accuracy rose to 79%.
