  diction server.



About the input to the network
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The prediction is performed by a system of neural networks.
The input is a multiple sequence alignment. It is taken from an HSSP
file (produced by the program MaxHom:
  Sander, Chris & Schneider, Reinhard: Database of Homology-Derived
  Structures and the Structural Meaning of Sequence Alignment.
  Proteins, 1991, 9, 56-68.

For optimal results the alignment should contain sequences with varying
degrees of sequence similarity relative to the input protein.
The following is an ideal situation:

+-----------------+----------------------+
|   sequence:     |  sequence identity   |
+-----------------+----------------------+
| target sequence |  100 %               |
| aligned seq. 1  |   90 %               |
| aligned seq. 2  |   80 %               |
|      ...        |   ...                |
| aligned seq. 7  |   30 %               |
+-----------------+----------------------+



Estimated Accuracy of Prediction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A careful cross validation test on some 250 protein chains (in total
about 55,000 residues) with less than 25% pairwise sequence identity
gave the following results:

++================++-----------------------------------------+
|| Qtotal = 72.1% ||      ("overall three state accuracy")   |
++================++-----------------------------------------+

+----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| Qhelix (% of observed)=70% | Qhelix (% of predicted)=77% |
| Qstrand(% of observed)=62% | Qstrand(% of predicted)=64% |
| Qloop  (% of observed)=79% | Qloop  (% of predicted)=72% |
+----------------------------+-----------------------------+
..........................................................................

These percentages are defined by:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|                    number of correctly predicted residues
|Qtotal =            ---------------------------------------      (*100)
|                          number of all residues
|
|                    no of res correctly predicted to be in helix
|Qhelix (% of obs) = -------------------------------------------- (*100)
|                    no of all res observed to be in helix
|
|
|                    no of res correctly predicted to be in helix
|Qhelix (% of pred)= -------------------------------------------- (*100)
|                    no of all residues predicted to be in helix

..........................................................................

Averaging over single chains
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The most reasonable way to compute the overall accuracies is the above
quoted percentage of correctly predicted residues.  However, since the
user is mainly interested in the expected performance of the prediction
for a particular protein, the mean value when averaging over protein
chains might be of help as well.  Computing first the three state
accuracy for each protein chain, and then averaging over 250 chains
yields the following average:

+-------------------------------====--+
| Qtotal/averaged over chains = 72.2% |
+-------------------------------====--+
| standard deviation          =  9.3% |
+-------------------------------------+

..........................................................................

Further measures of performance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Matthews correlation coefficient:

+---------------------------------------------+
| Chelix = 0.63, Cstrand = 0.53, Cloop = 0.52 |
+---------------------------------------------+
..........................................................................

Average length of predicted secondary structure segments:

.           +------------+----------+
.           |  predicted | observed |
+-----------+------------+----------+
| Lhelix  = |    10.3    |    9.3   |
| Lstrand = |     5.0    |    5.3   |
| Lloop   = |     7.2    |    5.9   |
+-----------+------------+----------+
..........................................................................

The accuracy matrix in detail:

+---------------------------------------+
|    number of residues with H, E, L    |
+---------+------+------+------+--------+
|         |net H |net E |net L |sum obs |
+---------+------+------+------+--------+
| obs H   |12447 | 1255 | 3990 |  17692 |
| obs E   |  949 | 7493 | 3750 |  12192 |
| obs L   | 2604 | 2875 |19962 |  25441 |
+---------+------+------+------+--------+
| sum Net |16000 |11623 |27702 |  55325 |
+---------+------+------+------+--------+

Note: This table is to be read in the following manner:
     12447 of all residues predicted to be in helix, were observed to
     be in helix, 949 however belong to observed strands, 2604 to
     observed loop regions.  The term "observed" refers to the DSSP
     assignment of secondary structure calculated from 3D coordinates
     of experimentally determined structures (Dictionary of Secondary
     Structure  of Proteins: Kabsch & Sander (1983) Biopolymers, 22,
     2577-2637).



Position-specific reliability index
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The network predicts the three secondary structure types using real
numbers from the output units. The prediction is assigned by choosing
the maximal unit ("winner takes all").  However, the real numbers
contain additional information.
E.g. the difference between the maximal and the second largest output
unit can be used to derive a "reliability index".  This index is given
for each residue along with the prediction.  The index is scaled to
have values between 0 (lowest reliability), and 9 (highest).
The accuracies (Qtot) to be expected for residues with values above a
particular value of the index are given below as well as the fraction
of such residues (%res).:

+------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| index|  0  |  1  |  2  |  3  |  4  |  5  |  6  |  7  |  8  |  9  |
| %res |100.0| 99.2| 90.4| 80.9| 71.6| 62.5| 52.8| 42.3| 29.8| 14.1|
+------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
|      |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |
| Qtot | 72.1| 72.3| 74.8| 77.7| 80.3| 82.9| 85.7| 88.5| 91.1| 94.2|
|      |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |
+------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| H%obs| 70.4| 70.6| 73.7| 77.1| 80.1| 83.1| 86.0| 89.3| 92.5| 96.4|
| E%obs| 61.5| 61.7| 63.7| 66.6| 69.1| 71.7| 74.6| 77.0| 77.8| 68.1|
|      |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |
| H%prd| 77.8| 78.0| 80.0| 82.6| 84.7| 86.9| 89.2| 91.3| 93.1| 95.4|
| E%prd| 64.5| 64.7| 67.8| 71.0| 74.2| 77.6| 81.4| 85.1| 89.8| 93.5|
+------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

The above table gives the cumulative results, e.g. 62.5% of all
residues have a reliability of at least 5.  The overall three-state
accuracy for this subset of almost two thirds of all residues is 82.9%.
For this subset, e.g., 83.1% of the observed helices are correctly
predicted, and 86.9% of all residues predicted to be in helix are
correct.

..........................................................................

The following table gives the non-cumulative quantities, i.e. the
values per reliability index range.  These numbers answer the question:
how reliable is the prediction for all residues labeled with the
particular index i.

+------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| index|  1  |  2  |  3  |  4  |  5  |  6  |  7  |  8  |  9  |
| %res |  8.8|  9.5|  9.3|  9.1|  9.7| 10.5| 12.5| 15.7| 14.1|
+------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
|      |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |
| Qtot | 46.6| 50.6| 57.7| 62.6| 67.9| 74.2| 82.2| 88.3| 94.2|
|      |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |
+------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| H%obs| 36.8| 42.3| 49.5| 55.2| 61.7| 69.9| 78.8| 87.4| 96.4|
| E%obs| 44.7| 44.5| 52.1| 55.4| 60.9| 68.0| 75.9| 81.0| 68.1|
|      |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |     |
| H%prd| 49.9| 52.5| 60.3| 64.2| 69.2| 77.5| 85.4| 89.9| 95.4|
| E%prd| 41.7| 47.1| 53.6| 57.0| 64.0| 71.6| 78.8| 88.8| 93.5|
+------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

For example, for residues with Relindex = 5 64% of all predicted betha-
strand residues are correctly identified.

---   									  ---
---   Dear user,                                                     	  ---
---   									  ---
---      as of  January 1, 1997,  EMBL has effectively decided to not	  ---
---   support the PredictProtein service by personal resources.  I do	  ---
---   maintain the program, so to speak, in my private time. However,	  ---
---   my contract obliges me to do science, instead.   Unfortunately,	  ---
---   the computer environment at  EMBL  is at the same time starting	  ---
---   to become increasingly unstable.   Consequence of these two re-	  ---
---   cent developments is that the  PredictProtein service is not as	  ---
---   stable as it was.						 	  ---
---   									  ---
---      I apologise for the problems this may cause.  In particular,	  ---
---   I apologise for my inability to reply to the 20-30 daily,  per-	  ---
---   sonal mails, and suggest to  re-submit requests after 24 hours!	  ---
---   									  ---
---   Hoping  that I shall  find  a more convenient  solution for the	  ---
---   future of the PredictProtein I remain with my best regards,	  ---
---   									  ---
---   Burkhard Rost							  ---
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---   PredictProtein: NEWS from April, 1998				  ---
---   									  ---
--------------------------------					  ---
---   MOVING PredictProtein						  ---
---   There appears to be light on the horizon! PP will may be having     ---
---   many hickups over the next months (as I shall leave EMBL). How-     ---
---   ever, the server seems to have a fair chance of survival thanks     ---
---   to a major support that is being raised by Columbia University,     ---
---   New York, U.S.A.).   I hope that this will settle the issue for     ---
---   the years to come ...						  ---
--------------------------------					  ---
---   WARNING								  ---
---   After a  major  rewriting of most of the PP code over the last,     ---
---   I am afraid  that  not all errors have been traced by me,  yet.     ---
---   Thus, please have mercy and report any bug you'll encounter!	  ---
---                                             THANKS, Burkhard Rost	  ---
--------------------------------					  ---
---   NEW PREDICTION DEFAULTS						  ---
---   * Coiled-coil regions: now by default the program COILS written by  ---
---     Andrei Lupas is run on your sequence. An output is returned if a  ---
---     coiled-coil region has been detected.				  ---
---   * Functional sequence motifs: now by default the PROSITE database   ---
---     written by Amos Bairoch, Philip Bucher and Kay Hofmann is scanned ---
---     for sequence motifs. An output is returned if any motif has been  ---
---     detected.							  ---
--------------------------------					  ---
---   see http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/predictprotein/ppNews.html	  ---
---     for a description of the following new options.			  ---
---   NEW INPUT OPTION							  ---
---   * Your input sequence(s) in FASTA-list format ("# FASTA list ")	  ---
---   NEW OUTPUT OPTIONS						  ---
---   * Return also BLASTP output ("return blast")			  ---
---   * Return prediction additionally in RDB format ("return phd rdb")   ---
---   * Return topits hssp  ("return topits hssp")			  ---
---   * Return topits strip ("return topits strip")			  ---
---   * Return topits own   ("return topits own")			  ---
---   * Return no coils     ("return no coils")				  ---
---   * Return no prosite   ("return no prosite")			  ---
