The use of multiple sequence alignments for secondary structure predictions is analysed. Seven different protein families, containing only sequences of known structure, were considered to provide a range of alignment and prediction conditions. Using alignments obtained by spatial superposition of main chain atoms in known tertiary protein structures allowed a mean of 8% in secondary structure prediction accuracy, when compared to those obtained from the individual sequences. Substitution of these alignments by those determined directly from an automated sequence alignment algorithm showed variations in the prediction accuracy which correlated with the quality of the multiple alignments and distance of the primary sequence. Secondary structure predictions can be reliably improved using alignments from an automatic alignment procedure with a mean increase of 6.8%, giving an overall prediction accuracy of 68.5%, if there is a minimum of 25% sequence identity between all sequences in a family.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.

D016415 Sequence Alignment The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.

D017433 Protein Structure, Secondary The level of protein structure in which regular hydrogen-bond interactions within contiguous stretches of polypeptide chain give rise to ALPHA-HELICES; BETA-STRANDS (which align to form BETA-SHEETS), or other types of coils. This is the first folding level of protein conformation.
