Abstract

We designed a simple position-specific hidden Markov model to predict protein structure. Our new framework naturally repeats itself to converge to a final target, conglomerating fragment assembly, clustering, target selection, refinement, and consensus, all in one process. Our initial implementation of this theory converges to within 6 Å of the native structures for 100% of decoys on all six standard benchmark proteins used in ROSETTA (discussed by Simons and colleagues in a recent paper), which achieved only 14%-94% for the same data. The qualities of the best decoys and the final decoys our theory converges to are also notably better. Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press. Copyright © 2008 The Protein Society.
