Article Abstract
In this study, we propose a new method to predict hairpins in proteins and its evaluation based on the support vector machine. Different from previous methods, new feature representation scheme based on auto covariance is adopted. We also investigate two structure properties of proteins (protein secondary structure and residue conformation propensity), and examine their effects on prediction. Moreover, we employ an ensemble classifier approach based on the majority voting to improve prediction accuracy on hairpins. Experimental results on a dataset of 1926 protein chains show that our approach outperforms those previously published in the literature, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The secondary structures (SSs) and supersecondary structures (SSSs) underlie the three-dimensional structure of proteins. Prediction of the SSs and SSSs from protein sequences enjoys high levels of use and finds numerous applications in the development of a broad range of other bioinformatics tools. Numerous sequence-based predictors of SS and SSS were developed and published in recent years.

β-Structure-rich amyloid fibrils are hallmarks of several diseases, including Alzheimer's (AD), Parkinson's (PD), and type 2 diabetes (T2D). While amyloid fibrils typically consist of parallel β-sheets, the anti-parallel β-hairpin is a structural motif accessible to amyloidogenic proteins in their monomeric and oligomeric states. Here, to investigate implications of β-hairpins in amyloid formation, potential β-hairpin-forming amyloidogenic segments in the human proteome were predicted based on sequence similarity with β-hairpins previously observed in Aβ, α-synuclein, and islet amyloid polypeptide, amyloidogenic proteins associated with AD, PD, and T2D, respectively.

Fundamental understanding of the structure and assembly of nanoscale building blocks is crucial for the development of novel biomaterials with defined architectures and function. However, accessing self-consistent structural information across multiple length scales is challenging. This limits opportunities to exploit atomic scale interactions to achieve emergent macroscale properties.
