Abstract

A function of a protein is dependent on its structure;therefore, predicting a protein structure from an amino acidsequence is an active area of research. To improve the accuracy ofvalidation of structures, we are studying the predictability ofsecondary structure transitions using the following machinelearning algorithms: naive Bayes, C4.5 decision tree, and randomforest. The annotated data sets from PDB that have agreement withDSSP and STRIDE are used for training and testing. We havedemonstrated that predicting structure transition with high degreeof certainty is possible and we were able to get as high as 97.5%of prediction accuracy.
