A two-stage neural network has been used to predict??protein secondary structure based on the method of??combining physico-chemical properties of amino acid??residues with evolutionary information. We employed??CB513 as the dataset. After excluding the protein chains??containing X, B and which with sequence length shorter than 30 amino acids, there were 492 protein chains in this dataset totally. The network has been trained and tested by 7-fold cross-validation. The result indicated that the prediction accuracy reached 75.96%, which was 0.5% higher than that of only using PSSM as input. Although QH was found to be lower than that of PSSM, CH had an improvement, which indicates that the method we developed is successful.
