Prediction of Temperature Factors in Proteins: Effect of Data Pre-Processing and Experimental Conditions by Jure Pražnikar

“…It has also been shown that large ligands, such as those found in protein–DNA complexes, have a significant impact on the quality of the prediction. A linear model based on graphlet degree vectors proves to be effective not only for the prediction of B-factors and the validation of deposited protein structures but also for the qualitative estimation of root-mean-square fluctuations derived from molecular dynamics.…”
