Prediction of Protein Secondary Structures

 

Summary

 

    The present state of protein secondary structure prediction is discu-sed. The benefits and limitations of usually used approaches for the protein secondary prediction structure were determined on the base of analysis of various prediction meŽthods (statistical, physico-chemical, combine methods and methods of sequences similaŽrity). The hypothesis on possible progress in this area is proposed. This idea is to reŽveal and analyze the informative protein sites and to elaborate the logical methods for analysis of protein secondary structure.
