40 L.A. KelleyFig. 2.4 Schematic representation of the progress of sequence-based fold recognition techniquesover time. The leftmost part of each figure represents the query sequence. The grey box <strong>to</strong> the righ<strong>to</strong>f each figure indicates a database of templates of known structure. The arrows indicate a comparisonbetween the query and a particular template. (a) Simple comparison of an amino acidsequence against a database of sequences. (b) Including predicted (query) and known (template)secondary structure information in the matching. Wavy lines indicate alpha-helices and lozengesindicate beta-strands. (c) Here the query is represented by a profile of multiple sequences, a PSSMor a Hidden Markov Model (the coloured grid). Each row of the grid represents a different homologoussequence, each column represents a different sequence position. (d) The inverse of(c) where now a query sequence is searched against a library of profiles. (e) Profile-profile comparison(still <strong>with</strong> a simple 3-state string representing secondary structure. (f) as (e) but now <strong>with</strong>
