This document discusses protein threading modeling methods. Protein threading, also called fold recognition, is used to model proteins that have the same fold as proteins with known structures but no homologous sequences. It differs from homology modeling which is used for proteins that have homologous sequences. Protein threading works by using statistical knowledge of relationships between structures in the Protein Data Bank and the sequence of the protein being modeled. It is based on observations that there are a limited number of folds in nature and most new structures have similar folds to ones already in the PDB. The document then describes the general steps of the protein threading method.
Methods of Protein structure determination EL Sayed Sabry
This document summarizes several methods for determining protein structure: X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and cryo-electron microscopy. X-ray crystallography involves growing protein crystals, exposing them to X-rays to generate diffraction patterns, and using the patterns to build 3D electron density maps of the protein. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy measures distances between atomic nuclei in soluble proteins by analyzing spectra from radiofrequency pulses applied in strong magnetic fields. Cryo-electron microscopy images frozen, hydrated protein samples with an electron microscope to determine large protein structures without the need for crystallization.
Protein NMR spectroscopy is a technique that uses the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei to determine the physical and chemical properties of molecules. It provides detailed information about molecular structure, dynamics, reaction state, and chemical environment. NMR spectroscopy is commonly used by chemists and biochemists to investigate organic molecules. It involves placing a sample in a strong magnetic field and exposing it to radiofrequency pulses to determine the number and types of atoms in the molecule. NMR has applications in chemistry for studying chemical bonds and in medicine for imaging tissues and detecting diseases.

The SCOP database classifies protein structures hierarchically and describes evolutionary relationships between proteins. It was created in 1994 at the Centre for Protein Engineering and is maintained manually. SCOP links to the Protein Data Bank to obtain structural classifications for each protein structure directly and can also be searched to find a protein's structural class, fold, and domain information.
Protein threading is a protein structure prediction method that involves "threading" or placing an amino acid sequence into known protein structure templates to find the best matching fold. The key steps are:
1) A query sequence is threaded into structural positions of templates from a structure library to find sequence-structure alignments
2) Alignments are scored and optimized using an objective function accounting for residue interactions and preferences
3) The highest scoring template is selected as the predicted structure, though loop regions are often not accurately predicted
1) The document discusses various methods for determining the 3D structure of proteins, including x-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and cryo-electron microscopy.
2) X-ray crystallography involves purifying the protein, crystallizing it, collecting diffraction data from x-rays hitting the crystal, using this data to determine phases and calculate an electron density map, and building an atomic model through refinement.
3) NMR spectroscopy involves dissolving the purified protein and using nuclear magnetic resonance to measure distances between atomic nuclei, allowing the structure to be calculated.
ESTs are short sequences of DNA derived from cDNA clones that represent gene expression in particular cells or tissues. They provide a simple and inexpensive way to discover new genes and map their positions in genomes. To create an EST, mRNA is converted to cDNA and then sequenced, yielding short expressed DNA sequences. ESTs are deposited in public databases like NCBI's dbEST and can help identify genes, construct genome maps, and characterize expressed genes through clustering, assembly, and mapping to genomic sequences. However, isolating mRNA from some tissues can be difficult and ESTs alone do not indicate the genes they were derived from.

This document discusses motifs and domains in proteins. It defines motifs as short conserved regions related to function, such as binding sites, that are not detectable by sequence searches. There are sequence motifs consisting of nucleotide or amino acid patterns, and structural motifs formed by amino acid spatial arrangements. Domains are stable, independently folding units of proteins that determine structure and function. Both motifs and domains are useful for classifying protein families and have structural and functional roles, though domains are more stable independently. Motifs and domains form through interactions of alpha helices and beta sheets and have similarities, but domains mainly determine unique functions while motifs mainly provide structural roles within families.

A domain contains one or more well-characterized motifs and has an independent function. Two common motifs are described: the HTH motif, which contains two antiparallel alpha helices connected by a beta turn for DNA binding; and the HLH motif, which contains two helices connected by a loop, with the larger helix binding DNA and the smaller helix aiding folding. Domains are defined as distinct functional units that are evolutionarily conserved and can exist independently; they are classified based on secondary structure composition.

Homology modeling is a computational method to predict the 3D structure of a protein based on the known structure of homologous proteins. It involves 7 main steps: 1) selecting a template protein with high sequence similarity, 2) aligning the sequences, 3) building the protein backbone, 4) modeling loops and insertions/deletions, 5) refining side chains, 6) refining the overall structure using energy minimization, and 7) evaluating the model. Homology models can accurately predict protein structure when the sequence identity between the target and template is above 30%. Models are useful for studying protein function and designing drugs.
The document discusses computational methods for predicting protein structure, specifically homology modeling and threading/fold recognition. Homology modeling constructs a target protein structure using the amino acid sequence and experimental structure of a homologous protein as a template. Threading/fold recognition predicts a protein's structural fold by fitting its sequence to structures in a database and selecting the best fitting fold, either through an energy-based method or profile-based method. Both methods are limited as homology modeling relies on a template structure and threading/fold recognition may not find a match if the correct fold does not exist in the database.
Protein secondary structure prediction by a neural network architecture with...IJECEIAES
Protein secondary structure is an immense achievement of bioinformatics. It's an amino acid residue in a polypeptide backbone. In this paper, an innovative method has been proposed for predicting protein secondary structures based on 3-state protein secondary structure by neural network architecture with simple positioning algorithm (SIMPA) technique. Q3 (3-state prediction of protein secondary structure) is a fundamental methodology for our approach. Initially, the prediction of the secondary structure of the protein using the Q3 prediction method has been done. For this, a model has been built from its primary structure. Then it will retrieve the percentage of amino acid sequences from the original sequence to the accuracy of the predicted sequence. Utilizing the SIMPA technique from the 3-state secondary structure predicted sequence, the percentage of dissimilar residues of the three types (α-helix, β-sheet and coil) of Q3 has been extracted. Then the verification of the Q3 predicted accuracy through the SIMPA technique was done. Finally using a new method of neural network, it is verified that the Q3 prediction method gives good results from the neural network approach.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
