This chapter deals with approaches for protein three-dimensional structure prediction, starting out from a single input sequence with unknown struc- ture, the 'query' or 'target' sequence. Both template based and template free modelling techniques are treated, and how resulting structural models may be selected and refined. We give a concrete flowchart for how to de- cide which modelling strategy is best suited in particular circumstances, and which steps need to be taken in each strategy…

Introduction to Structural Bioinformatics
TLDR
This book provides an overview of existing computational techniques, to validate, simulate, predict and analyse protein structures, and will aim to provide practical knowledge about how and when to use such techniques.
Correlation of model quality between predicted proteins and their templates
TLDR
This study focuses on the relationships between predicted proteins, taken from the Swiss-model repository, and their templates, on a larger scale, and the level of template quality is noticeably correlated with the predicted protein structuers.
Feature Importance in the Quality of Protein Templates
TLDR
It is shown that protein models with a resolution lower than 3 A or R value lower than 0.25 have higher quality scores when compared individually to their counterparts, both through statistical and machine learning analyses.
Training for translation between disciplines: a philosophy for life and data sciences curricula
TLDR
From this, a comprehensive philosophy on how translation in training may be achieved in a dynamic and multidisciplinary research area is developed, which is described here and concrete suggestions on how this may be implemented in practice are presented.
Preface to Introduction to Structural Bioinformatics
TLDR
This book provides an overview of existing computational techniques, to validate, simulate, predict and analyse protein structures, and will aim to provide practical knowledge about how and when to use such techniques.

HHpred is a fast server for remote protein homology detection and structure prediction and is the first to implement pairwise comparison of profile hidden Markov models (HMMs). It allows to search a…
Refinement of protein structure homology models via long, all‐atom molecular dynamics simulations
TLDR
In MD simulations of 24 proteins chosen from the refinement category of recent Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP) experiments, it is found that in most cases, simulations initiated from homology models drift away from the native structure, suggesting that force field accuracy is the primary factor limiting MD‐based refinement.

Critical assessment of methods of protein structure prediction: Progress and new directions in round XI
TLDR
A first assessment demonstrates that models can sometimes successfully address biological questions that motivate experimental structure determination, and there is continuing progress in accuracy of modeling regions of structure not directly available by comparative modeling, while there is marginal or no progress in some other areas.
Multiple Sequence Alignment.
TLDR
This chapter first provides some background information and considerations associated with MSA techniques, concentrating on the alignment of protein sequences, and a practical overview of currently available methods and a description of their specific advantages and limitations are given.
A Simple and Efficient Protein Structure Refinement Method.
TLDR
Using only a small fraction of MD simulation steps, systematic protein structure refinement was demonstrated in this work, indicating that refinement of a given model can be achieved using a few hours of desktop computing.
Protein structure model refinement in CASP12 using short and long molecular dynamics simulations in implicit solvent
TLDR
The group's performance in CASP12 was among the top, which was consistent with the previous round, CASP11, and their method with short MD runs achieved comparable performance with other methods that used longer simulations, based on inexpensive short molecular dynamics simulations in implicit solvent.
Metabolic regio- and stereoselectivity of cytochrome P450 2D6 towards 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-alkylamphetamines: in silico predictions and experimental validation.
TLDR
Differences in regioselectivities and stereoselectivity in the oxidative metabolism of the MDAAs by the Phe120Ala mutant CYP2D6 were correctly predicted, and the effects of the P he 120Ala mutation could be rationalized as well.
A large-scale comparative assessment of methods for residue–residue contact prediction
TLDR
A large-scale comparative assessment of 15 locally installed contact predictors found that the machine learning- based methods outperform the direct-coupling-based methods for short-range contact prediction, while the latter are significantly better for long-rangeContact prediction.
Analysis of deep learning methods for blind protein contact prediction in CASP12
TLDR
The RaptorX-Contact server is presented, which is an early implementation of the deep learning method for contact prediction, and both contact prediction and contact-based folding results, and the strength and weakness of the method are discussed.
