Chapter 4: HingeMaster: normal<br />

mode hinge prediction approach<br />

and integration of complementary<br />

predictors<br />

Overview<br />

In Chapter 3 we described the first of our novel hinge predictors based on structural<br />

information. We follow this up now with additional novel structure based hinge<br />

predictors, and combine them with existing methods. This lays the groundwork for the<br />

prediction of protein motion in Chapter 5.<br />

As discussed earlier, predicting the location of the hinge from a single structure is a<br />

logical first step towards predicting motion. Here we describe ways to predict the hinge<br />

location by grouping residues with correlated normal-mode motions. In this chapter,<br />

accepted for publication in PROTEINS, we benchmarked our normal-mode based<br />

predictor against a gold standard set of carefully annotated hinge locations taken from the<br />

Database of Macromolecular Motions. We then compared it with three existing<br />
