This thesis improves protein contact prediction using unsupervised and supervised methods.
Recently exciting progress has been made on protein contact prediction, but the predicted contacts for proteins without many sequence homologs is still of low quality and not very useful for de novo structure prediction. This paper presents a new deep learning method that predicts contacts by integrating both evolution…
Motivation. Protein contact map describes the pairwise spatial and functional relationship of residues in a protein and contains key information for protein 3D structure prediction. Although studied extensively, it remains very challenging to predict contact map using only sequence information. Most existing methods pr…
Protein contacts contain important information for protein structure and functional study, but contact prediction from sequence remains very challenging. Both evolutionary coupling (EC) analysis and supervised machine learning methods are developed to predict contacts, making use of different types of information, resp…
Focusing on a small set of proteins that i) fold in a concerted, all-or-none fashion and ii) do not contain knots or slipknots, we show that the Gauss linking integral, the torsion and the number of sequence-distant contacts provide information regarding the folding rate. Our results suggest that the global topology/ge…

We introduce a new model of proteins, which extends and enhances the traditional graphical representation by associating a combinatorial object called a fatgraph to any protein based upon its intrinsic geometry. Fatgraphs can easily be stored and manipulated as triples of permutations, and these methods are therefore a…
Two proteins are homologous if they have a common evolutionary origin, and the binary classification problem is to identify proteins in a candidate set that are homologous to a particular native protein. The feature (explanatory) variables available for classification are various measures of similarity of proteins. The…
