The prediction of membrane protein structure and genome structural annotation

Abstract
New methods, essentially based on hidden Markov models (HMM) and neural networks (NN), can predict the topography of both β‐barrel and all‐α membrane proteins with high accuracy and a low rate of false positives and false negatives. These methods have been integrated in a suite of programs to filter proteomes of Gram‐negative bacteria, searching for new membrane proteins. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
