Neural networks for secondary structure and structural class predictions

J M Chandonia et al. Protein Sci. 1995 Feb.

Abstract

A pair of neural network-based algorithms is presented for predicting the tertiary structural class and the secondary structure of proteins. Each algorithm realizes improvements in accuracy based on information provided by the other. Structural class prediction of proteins nonhomologous to any in the training set is improved significantly, from 62.3% to 73.9%, and secondary structure prediction accuracy improves slightly, from 62.26% to 62.64%. A number of aspects of neural network optimization and testing are examined. They include network overtraining and an output filter based on a rolling average. Secondary structure prediction results vary greatly depending on the particular proteins chosen for the training and test sets; consequently, an appropriate measure of accuracy reflects the more unbiased approach of "jackknife" cross-validation (testing each protein in the data-base individually).
