Glucocerebrosidase sequence based prediction

Secondary structure prediction

PSIPRED

PSIPRED is a method by David T. Jones, published 1999 in JMB with "Protein Secondary Structure Prediction Based on Position-specific Scoring Matrices". PSIPRED works with a two-stage neural network to predict secondary structure. These are based on the position specific scoring matrices generated by PSI-BLAST, which is run before.<ref>David T. Jones, Protein Secondary Structure Prediction Based on Position-specific Scoring Matrices, JMB, 1999</ref>

We run the online and the local version of PSIPRED and got different results. In the following it is compared to the secondary structure given in Uniprot<ref>http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P04062</ref>.

The results differ a lot. The online version of PSIPRED seems to have different parameters than the local version. So we got different results. Compared to the given secondary structure in Uniprot there are many regions that are predicted wrong.
