Since the emphasis of the method is on the prediction of the major topological elements that comprise the global structure of the protein rather than on a detailed local secondary structure description, this approach is complementary to standard secondary structure prediction schemes. Consequently, it may be useful in the early stages of tertiary structure prediction when establishment of the structural class and possible folding topologies is of interest. Application to a set of small proteins of known structure indicates a high level of accuracy. The prediction of the approximate location of the surface turns/loops that are responsible for the change in overall chain direction is correct in more than 95\% of the cases. The accuracy for the dominant secondary structure assignment for the linear blocks between such surface turns/loops is in the range of 82\%.}, keywords = {Algorithms, Amino Acid Sequence, Animals, Humans, Molecular Sequence Data, Protein Folding, Protein Structure, Proteins, Proteins: chemistry, Secondary}, issn = {0887-3585}, url = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9061792}, author = {Andrzej Koli{\'n}ski and Jeffrey Skolnick and Adam Godzik and Wei-Ping Hu} } @article {Skolnick1993, title = {From independent modules to molten globules: observations on the nature of protein folding intermediates}, journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, volume = {90}, number = {6}, year = {1993}, pages = {2099{\textendash}100}, keywords = {Binding Sites, Isomerases, Isomerases: chemistry, Protein Disulfide-Isomerases, Protein Folding, Protein Structure, Proteins, Proteins: chemistry, Secondary}, issn = {0027-8424}, url = {http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=46030\&tool=pmcentrez\&rendertype=abstract}, author = {Jeffrey Skolnick and Andrzej Koli{\'n}ski and Adam Godzik} }
