Abstract
Protein sequence data is abundant, but ancestry information of those proteins and experimental analysis of the structure of those protein sequences are less available, and costly to produce. Thus, machine learning algorithms are being developed to predict protein structure. For structure prediction, available data is collected and parsed for the specific properties one’s algorithm requires, such as torsion angles for tertiary structure prediction. After an algorithm is trained against this data, the algorithm can be tested in its correctness of predicting protein structure. As a new algorithm is developed, an increase in accuracy and precision is expected.
