METHOD Overview 
METHOD  
METHOD Fold recognition was performed using the Target98 (SAM-T98) method 
METHOD [3] using SAM version 2.1.1 [1], a refinement of the methods developed 
METHOD by this group for CASP2 [2].  This method attempts to find and multiply  
METHOD align a set of homologs to a given sequence, then create an HMM from that  
METHOD multiple alignment. 
METHOD  
METHOD First, a set of sequence weights is determined from the alignment.  Next,  
METHOD Modelfromalign is used to build the model from the alignment and the  
METHOD sequence weights.  Finally, hmmscore performs a local, all-paths scoring  
METHOD of the sequences, using a reversed-sequence normalization feature. 
METHOD  
METHOD The weighting method, detailed in upcoming publications [3,4], 
METHOD combines the Henikoffs' scheme [5], Dirichlet mixtures [6], and an 
METHOD entropy method to set the final weights. 
METHOD  
METHOD Alignment generation 
METHOD  
METHOD The initial step uses BLASTP to search NRP twice: once to produce a set 
METHOD of very close homologs, and once to produce a set of possible homologs. 
METHOD  
METHOD The method then uses multiple iterations of a selection, training, and  
METHOD alignment procedure.  Each iteration involves an initial alignment, a set  
METHOD of search sequences, a threshold value, and a transition regularizer.  
METHOD  
METHOD The first iteration uses a single sequence (or seed alignment) as the  
METHOD initial alignment and the close homologs found by BLASTP are used as the  
METHOD search set.  The threshold is set very strictly, so that only good matches  
METHOD to the sequence are considered.  This iteration uses a transition regularizer  
METHOD that was designed to match the gap costs used by BLASTP. 
METHOD  
METHOD On subsequent iterations the input alignment is the output from the 
METHOD previous iteration, the search set is the larger set of possible 
METHOD homologs found by BLASTP, and the thresholds are gradually loosened. 
METHOD The second through second-from-last iteration use a ``long-match'' 
METHOD transition regularizer, and the final iteration uses a transition regularizer  
METHOD trained on FSSP alignments.

METHOD  
METHOD We did not get any strong hits for T0078.  Wu-blast and double-blast 
METHOD found nothing. 
METHOD  
METHOD Our FSSP model library placed 1dapA as the most likely structure for 
METHOD T0078, giving it a score of -7.04.  While we have not calibrated this 
METHOD library, because it is based on the same date we use for calibration, 
METHOD analogy with the other libraries suggests that there is roughly a 50% 
METHOD chance that this is a false positive.  We were encouraged by noticing 
METHOD that the FSSP family, for which 1dapA is the representative structure, 
METHOD includes other structures with functional relatedness, that is, 
METHOD involvement with CoA and fatty chains. 
METHOD  
METHOD The only other competing structure for us was 1chkA.  Even though this 
METHOD structure placed the known active site residue for T0078, His58, in a 
METHOD what looked like a binding pocket, we felt more comfortable with the 
METHOD residue conservation pattern of 1dapA. 
METHOD  
METHOD The alignment we have submitted required some hand editing from the  
METHOD automatic viterbi alignment produced by the library model.
