SBROD

Keywords: Bioinformatics - Machine learning

Functional Description: Smooth orientation-dependent scoring function (SBROD) for coarse-grained protein quality assessment uses only the conformation of the protein backbone, and hence it can be applied to scoring the coarse-grained protein models.

The workflow of SBROD consists in two stages. First, the method extracts features from each protein model in the dataset. Then, the scoring function assigns a score to each processed protein model depending on its features extracted at the first stage. Figure above schematically shows the workflow of SBROD. Here, four types of inter-atomic interactions, described in details below, are taken into account when extracting the features. After these features have been extracted and preprocessed, a Ridge Regression model is trained on them to predict the GDT-TS of protein models.
