Abstract

The present state of protein secondary structure prediction is discussed. The benefits and limitations of usually used approaches for the protein secondary prediction structure were determined on the base of analysis of various prediction methods (statistical, physico-chemical, combine methods and methods of sequences similarity). The hypothesis on possible progress in this area is proposed. This idea is to reveal and analyze the informative protein sites and to elaborate the logical methods for analysis of protein secondary structure.
