Protein homology model refinement by large-scale energy optimization.

ABSTRACT: Proteins fold to their lowest free-energy structures, and hence the most straightforward way to increase the accuracy of a partially incorrect protein structure model is to search for the lowest-energy nearby structure. This direct approach has met with little success for two reasons: first, energy function inaccuracies can lead to false energy minima, resulting in model degradation rather than improvement; and second, even with an accurate energy function, the search problem is formidable because the energy only drops considerably in the immediate vicinity of the global minimum, and there are a very large number of degrees of freedom. Here we describe a large-scale energy optimization-based refinement method that incorporates advances in both search and energy function accuracy that can substantially improve the accuracy of low-resolution homology models. The method refined low-resolution homology models into correct folds for 50 of 84 diverse protein families and generated improved models in recent blind structure prediction experiments. Analyses of the basis for these improvements reveal contributions from both the improvements in conformational sampling techniques and the energy function.

Project description:Recently, the wafers used in solar cells have been increasing in size, leading to larger module sizes and weights. The increased weight can cause deflection of photovoltaic (PV) module, which may lead to decreased cell efficiency. In this study, we developed a deep neural network (DNN)-based finite element (FE) surrogate model to obtain the optimal frame design factors that can improve deflection in large-scale bifacial PV module. Initially, an FE model was constructed for large-scale bifacial PV module. Based on this, the FE surrogate model was trained using 243 FEA datasets generated within the proposed range of factors. Furthermore, it was improved through Bayesian optimization and k-fold validation. As a result, the final loss value was 3.743×10-4 , and the average mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and coefficient of determination ( R2 ) values for deflection and weight were 0.0017, 0.9972 for the training set, and 0.0020, 0.9962 for the test set, respectively. This indicates that the trained FE surrogate model possesses significant accuracy. After generating 1 million datasets within the range of frame design factors, the trained model was used to obtain predictions. Based on this data, the frame design factors that minimize both deflection and weight were identified as about a = 1.5, b = 13.7, c = 1.5, d = 3.0, e = 4.3. At this point, the deflection was 11.1 mm, and the weight was 3.6 kg. After altering the frame shape with the derived factors, FEA was conducted. The results matched for both deflection and weight, with almost no error. At this point, the weight increased by approximately 12.8% compared to the existing, while the deflection decreased by about 9.6%. Additionally, we analyzed the relationship between deflection and weight for each factor and secured the basis for the derived results. Consequently, our FE surrogate model accurately predicted the FEA results and quickly identified the optimal factors that minimize deflection and weight.
