20 Two Related Problems in Structure Prediction Directly predicting protein structure from the amino acid sequence has proved elusive Two sub-problems Secondary Structure Prediction Tertiary Structure Prediction

21 Secondary Structure Predication (2D) For each residues in a protein structure, three possible states: a (a-helix), ß (ß-strand), t (others). amino acid sequence Secondary structure sequence Currently the accuracy of secondary structure methods is nearly 80% (2000). Secondary structure prediction can provide useful information to improve other sequence and structure analysis methods, such as sequence alignment and 3-D modeling. http://bioinf.cs.ucl.ac.uk/psipred/psiform.html

23 PSSP: Protein Secondary Structure Prediction Three Generations Based on statistical information of single amino acids Based on local amino acid interaction (segments). Typically a segment containes 11-21 aminoacids Based on evolutionary information of the homology sequences

24 Secondary Structure preferences for Amino Acids The normalized frequencies for each conformation were calculated from the fraction of residues of each amino acid that occurred in that conformation, divided by this fraction for all residues. Random occurrence of a particular amino in a conformation would give a value of unity. A value greater than unity indicates a preference for a particular type of secondary structure.

26 Machine learning methods for Protein Secondary Structure Prediction Introduction to classification Generalize protein secondary structure prediction as a machine learning problem Introduction to Neural Network

27 Classification and Classifiers Given a data base table DB with a set of attribute values and a special atribute C, called a class label. Example: A1 A2A3 A4 C 11mgTumor 01vgNormal 10mb

28 Classification and Classifiers An algorithm is called a classification algorithm if it uses the data to build a set of patterns Decision rules or decision trees, etc. Those patters are structured in such a way that we can use them to classify unknown sets of objects- unknown records. For that reason (because of the goal) the classification algorithm is often called shortly a classifier. Classifier Example

29 Classification and Classifiers Building a classifier consists of two phases: Training and testing. In both phases we use data (training data set and disjoint test data set) for which the class labels are known for ALL of the records. The training data set to create patterns (rules, trees, or to train a Neural network). Evaluate created patterns with the use of of test data, which classification is known. The measure for a trained classifier accuracy is called predictive accuracy.

30 Predictive Accuracy Evaluation The main methods of predictive accuracy evaluations are: Re-substitution (N ; N) Holdout (2N/3 ; N/3) x-fold cross-validation (N-N/x ; N/x) Leave-one-out (N-1 ; 1), where N is the number of instances in the dataset The process of building and evaluating a classifier is also called a supervised learning, or lately when dealing with large data bases a classification method in Data Mining

31 Classification Models: Different Classifiers Typical classification models Decision Trees (ID3, C4.5) Nearest Neighbors Support Vector Machines Neural Networks Most of the best classifiers for PSSP are based on Neural Network model Demonstration

32 Machine learning methods for Protein Secondary Structure Prediction Introduction to classification Generalize protein secondary structure prediction as a machine learning problem Introduction to Neural Network

33 How to generalize protein secondary prediction as a machine learning problem? Using a sliding window to move along the amino acid sequence Each window denotes an instance Each amino acid inside the window denotes an attribute The known secondary structure of the central amino acid is the class label

34 How to generalize protein secondary prediction as a machine learning problem? A set of “examples” are generated from sequence with known secondary structures Examples form a training set Build a neural network classifier Apply the classifier to a sequence with unknown secondary structure

35 Machine learning methods for Protein Secondary Structure Prediction Introduction to classification Generalize protein secondary structure prediction as a machine learning problem Introduction to Neural Network

36 What is an artificial Neural Network? An extremely simplified model of the brain Essentially a function approximator Transforms inputs into outputs to the best of its ability

37 Introduction to Neural Network Composed of many “neurons” that co-operate to perform the desired function

38 How do Neural Network Work? A neuron (perceptron) is a single layer NN The output of a neuron is a function of the weighted sum of the inputs plus a bias

39 Activation Function Binary active function f(x)=1 if x>=0 f(x)=0 otherwise The most common sigmoid function used is the logistic function f(x) = 1/(1 + e -x ) The calculation of derivatives are important for neural networks and the logistic function has a very nice derivative f’(x) = f(x)(1 - f(x))

40 Where Do The Weights Come From? The weights in a neural network are the most important factor in determining its function Training is the act of presenting the network with some sample data and modifying the weights to better approximate the desired function Supervised Training Supplies the neural network with inputs and the desired outputs Response of the network to the inputs is measured  The weights are modified to reduce the difference between the actual and desired outputs

41 Perceptron Example Simplest neural network with the ability to learn Made up of only input neurons and output neurons Output neurons use a simple threshold activation function In basic form, can only solve linear problems Limited applications

42 Perceptron Example Perceptron weight updating If the output is not correct, the weights are adjusted according to the formula: w new = w old +  ·(desired – output)  input Assuming given instance {(1,0,1), 0}

43 Multi-Layer Feedforward NN An extension of the perceptron Multiple layers The addition of one or more “hidden” layers in between the input and output layers Activation function is not simply a threshold Usually a sigmoid function A general function approximator Not limited to linear problems Information flows in one direction The outputs of one layer act as inputs to the next layer

44 Multi-Layer Feedforward NN Example XOR problem

45 Back-propagation Searches for weight values that minimize the total error of the network over the set of training examples Forward pass: Compute the outputs of all units in the network, and the error of the output layers. Backward pass: The network error is used for updating the weights (credit assignment problem).

48 Ab initio Prediction Sampling the global conformation space Lattice models / Discrete-state models Molecular Dynamics Picking native conformations with an energy function Solvation model: how protein interacts with water Pair interactions between amino acids

49 Lattice String Folding HP model: main modeled force is hydrophobic attraction Amino Acids are classified into two types Hydrophopic (H) or Polar (P) NP-hard in both 2-D square and 3-D cubic Constant approximation algorithms Not so relevant biologically

50 Lattice String Folding

51 Energy Minimization Many forces act on a protein Hydrophobic: inside of protein wants to avoid water Hydrophobic molecules associate with each other in water solvent as if water molecules is the repellent to them. It is like oil/water separation. Packing: atoms can't be too close, nor too far away van der Waals interactions Bond angle/length constraints Long distance, e.g. Electrostatics & Hydrogen bonds Disulphide bonds Salt bridges Can calculate all of these forces, and minimize Intractable in general case, but can be useful

52 Molecular Dynamics (MD) In molecular dynamics simulation, we simulate motions of atoms as a function of time according to Newton ’ s equation of motion. The equations for a system consisting on N atoms can be written as Here, r i and m i represent the position and mass of atom i and F i (t) is the force on atom i at time t. F i (t) is given by where V ( r 1, r 2, …, r N ) is the potential energy of the system that depends on the positions of the N atoms in the system. ∇ i is (1) (3) (2)

53 Energy Functions used in Molecular Simulation Electrostatic term H-bonding term Van der Waals term Bond stretching term Dihedral termAngle bending term r Φ Θ + ー O H r r r The most time demanding part.
