e/Chou-Fasman method

Information
has glosseng: The Chou-Fasman method are an empirical technique for the prediction of secondary structures in proteins, originally developed in the 1970s. The method is based on analyses of the relative frequencies of each amino acid in alpha helices, beta sheets, and turns based on known protein structures solved with X-ray crystallography. From these frequencies a set of probability parameters were derived for the appearance of each amino acid in each secondary structure type, and these parameters are used to predict the probability that a given sequence of amino acids would form a helix, a beta strand, or a turn in a protein. The method is at most about 50-60% accurate in identifying correct secondary structures, which is significantly less accurate than the GOR method or modern machine learning-based techniques.
