Chou-Fasman
From Christoph's Personal Wiki
The Chou-Fasman method of secondary structure prediction depends on assigning a set of prediction values to a residue and then applying a simple algorithm to those numbers.[1][2][3][4] It is no longer used as a reliable prediction algorithm.[5] The original parameters have been updated from a current dataset, along with modifications to the initial algorithm.[6]

Algorithm
Contains the following steps:
- Assign all of the residues in the peptide the appropriate set of parameters.
- Scan through the peptide and identify regions where 4 out of 6 contiguous residues have
P(a-helix) > 100. That region is declared an alpha-helix. Extend the helix in both directions until a set of four contiguous residues that have an averageP(a-helix) < 100is reached. That is declared the end of the helix. If the segment defined by this procedure is longer than 5 residues and the averageP(a-helix) > P(b-sheet)for that segment, the segment can be assigned as a helix. - Repeat this procedure to locate all of the helical regions in the sequence.
- Scan through the peptide and identify a region where 3 out of 5 of the residues have a value of
P(b-sheet) > 100. That region is declared as a beta-sheet. Extend the sheet in both directions until a set of four contiguous residues that have an averageP(b-sheet) < 100is reached. That is declared the end of the beta-sheet. Any segment of the region located by this procedure is assigned as a beta-sheet if the averageP(b-sheet) > 105and the averageP(b-sheet) > P(a-helix)for that region. - Any region containing overlapping alpha-helical and beta-sheet assignments are taken to be helical if the average
P(a-helix) > P(b-sheet)for that region. It is a beta sheet if the averageP(b-sheet) > P(a-helix)for that region. - To identify a bend at residue number
j, calculate the following value:
p(t) = f(j)f(j+1)f(j+2)f(j+3)
where the f(j+1) value for the j+1 residue is used, the f(j+2) value for the j+2 residue is used and the f(j+3) value for the j+3 residue is used. If:
- (1)
p(t) > 0.000075; - (2) the average value for
P(turn) > 1.00in the tetrapeptide; and - (3) the averages for the tetrapeptide obey the inequality
P(a-helix) < P(turn) > P(b-sheet), then a beta-turn is predicted at that location.
