Download or read book Protein Structure Accuracy Prediction with Deep Learning and Its Application to Structure Prediction and Design written by Naozumi Hiranuma and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the rules of protein structure folding has always been one of the central goals in computational biology. Deep learning is gaining popularity in protein machine learning due to its ability to learn complex functions on large amounts of protein geometry data. To help understand the rules of protein folding better, we developed neural networks (DeepAccNet and Pluto) that estimate the error in protein models. In other words, these networks estimate how much a computationally modeled protein structure deviates from its experimentally determined conformation. Approximately two million conformations from 21000 protein sequences located at different local energy minima with a large diversity of errors were sampled and used for training. The network uses 3D convolutions to evaluate local atomic environments followed by 2D convolutions to provide their global contexts and outperforms other methods that similarly predict the accuracy of protein structure models. Overall accuracy predictions for X-ray and cryoEM structures in the PDB correlate with their resolution. The network should be broadly helpful in assessing the accuracy of both predicted structure models and experimentally determined structures and identifying specific regions likely to be in error. The DeepAccNet methods were selected as top-performing methods for the estimation of model accuracy (EMA) category in CASP14. We extended the accuracy prediction models for proteins to more general chemistry by training graph neural networks on a wide variety of protein and non-protein datasets. We showed that the resulting framework (GAAP) successfully estimates the accuracy of non-protein molecules, such as peptides and Protein-DNA complexes. Our results illustrate how deep learning can impact the efficiency and accuracy of large-scale simulations for both modeling and designing of molecules.

Download or read book Computational Protein Design written by Zhixiu Li and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computational protein design aims at designing amino acid sequences that can fold into a target structure and perform a desired function. Many computational design methods have been developed and their applications have been successful during past two decades. However, the success rate of protein design remains too low to be of a useful tool by biochemists whom are not an expert of computational biology. In this dissertation, we first developed novel computational assessment techniques to assess several state-of-the-art computational techniques. We found that significant progresses were made in several important measures by two new scoring functions from RosettaDesign and from OSCAR-design, respectively. We also developed the first machine-learning technique called SPIN that predicts a sequence profile compatible to a given structure with a novel nonlocal energy-based feature. The accuracy of predicted sequences is comparable to RosettaDesign in term of sequence identity to wild type sequences. In the last two application chapters, we have designed self-inhibitory peptides of Escherichia coli methionine aminopeptidase (EcMetAP) and de novo designed barstar. Several peptides were confirmed inhibition of EcMetAP at the micromole-range 50% inhibitory concentration. Meanwhile, the assessment of designed barstar sequences indicates the improvement of OSCAR-design over RosettaDesign.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug discovery is an expensive, time-consuming process and the modern drug discovery community is constantly challenged not only with discovering novel bioactive agents to combat resistance from known diseases and fight against new ones, but to do so in a way that is economically effective. Advances in both experimental and theoretical/computational methods envisage that the greatest challenges in drug discovery can be most successfully addressed by using a multi-scale approach, drawing on the specialties of a whole host of different disciplines. Multi-Scale Approaches to Drug Discovery furnishes chemists with the detail they need to identify drug leads with the highest potential before isolating and synthesizing them to produce effective drugs with greater swiftness than classical methods may allow. This significantly speeds up the search for more efficient therapeutic agents. After an introduction to multi-scale approaches outlining the need for and benefits of their use, the book goes on to explore a range of useful techniques and research areas, and their potential applications to this process. Profiling drug binding by thermodynamics, machine learning for predicting enzyme sub-classes, and multitasking models for computer-aided design and virtual compound screening are discussed, before the book goes on to review Alkaloid Menispermaceae leads, natural chemotherapeutic agents and methods for speeding up the design and virtual screening of therapeutic peptides. Flavonoids as multi-target compounds are then explored, before the book concludes with a review of Quasi-SMILES as a novel tool. Collecting together reviews and original research contributions written by leading experts in the field, Multi-Scale Approaches to Drug Discovery highlights cutting-edge approaches and practical examples of their implementation for those involved in the drug discovery process at many different levels. Using the combined knowledge of medicinal, computational, pharmaceutical and bio- chemists, it aims to support growth in the multi-scale approach to promote greater success in the development of new drugs.
