Optimizing evidence theory based K nearest-neighbor alpha-helix prediction method

Abstract

The invention discloses an optimizing evidence theory based K nearest-neighbor alpha-helix prediction method and relates to correlation techniques of mode recognition algorithms and computational biology. By means of the optimizing evidence theory based K nearest-neighbor alpha-helix prediction method, a membrane protein alpha-helix structure is accurately predicted when a protein sample with a high-resolution known structure is lacked. Multiple sliding window extraction feature vectors are fused to perform optimization by adopting a computational biology method including protein multiple sequence alignment and an OETPKNN algorithm, noise is smoothed by means of a median filtering method, then a prediction result is divided by means of a dynamic threshold method, and finally the membrane protein alpha-helix structure is obtained. By means of the optimizing evidence theory based K nearest-neighbor alpha-helix prediction method, the alpha-helix prediction accuracy is improved by higher than 20%, the tail end of an alpha-helix can be predicted, and a good effect is played on irregular alpha-helixes with the prediction length smaller than 15 amino acids.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a technology in the field of bioinformatics and pattern recognition, specifically a K-nearest neighbor algorithm based on optimization evidence theory, which is suitable for predicting the protein structure of alpha helix. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of bioinformatics, a large amount of biological data and computer science have been combined for research and analysis, revealing more life science mechanisms endowed by biological data. Among them, proteins are an important part of biological information. The ever-expanding protein database greatly facilitates scientists' research on protein structure and function. The function of protein is often determined by its specific structure, so the study of protein structure plays a pivotal role. In the current protein database, most of the protein structures are solved by experiments, but membrane proteins have strong hydrophobicity, are no...
