  • Predicting residue‐residue distance relationships (eg, contacts) has become the key direction to advance protein structure prediction since 2014 CASP11 experiment, while deep learning has revolutionized the technology for contact and distance distribution prediction since its debut in 2012 CASP10 experiment. (nsf.gov)
  • During 2018 CASP13 experiment, we enhanced our MULTICOM protein structure prediction system with three major components: contact distance prediction based on deep convolutional neural networks, distance‐driven template‐free (ab initio) modeling, and protein model ranking empowered by deep learning and contact prediction. (nsf.gov)
  • Our experiment demonstrates that contact distance prediction and deep learning methods are the key reasons that MULTICOM was ranked 3rd out of all 98 predictors in both template‐free and template‐based structure modeling in CASP13. (nsf.gov)
  • Deep convolutional neural network can utilize global information in pairwise residue‐residue features such as coevolution scores to substantially improve contact distance prediction, which played a decisive role in correctly folding some free modeling and hard template‐based modeling targets.

  • Results We analyzed the results of our three deep learning-based contact prediction methods (MULTICOM-CLUSTER, MULTICOM-CONSTRUCT and MULTICOM-NOVEL) in the CASP13 experiment and identified several key factors [i.e. deep learning technique, multiple sequence alignment (MSA), distance distribution prediction and domain-based contact integration] that influenced the contact prediction accuracy. (nsf.gov)
  • We compared our convolutional neural network (CNN)-based contact prediction methods with three coevolution-based methods on 75 CASP13 targets consisting of 108 domains. (nsf.gov)

(nsf.gov)
  • We also tested different alignment methods and domain-based contact prediction with the deep learning contact predictors. (nsf.gov)
