Möbius Transformation-Induced Distributions Provide Better Modelling for Protein Architecture

Proteins are found in all living organisms and constitute a large group of macromolecules with many functions. Proteins achieve their operations by adopting distinct three-dimensional structures encoded within the sequence of the constituent amino acids in one or more polypeptides. New, more flexibl...

description Proteins are found in all living organisms and constitute a large group of macromolecules with many functions. Proteins achieve their operations by adopting distinct three-dimensional structures encoded within the sequence of the constituent amino acids in one or more polypeptides. New, more flexible distributions are proposed for the MCMC sampling method for predicting protein 3D structures by applying a Möbius transformation to the bivariate von Mises distribution. In addition to this, sine-skewed versions of the proposed models are introduced to meet the increasing demand for modelling asymmetric toroidal data. Interestingly, the marginals of the new models lead to new multimodal circular distributions. We analysed three big datasets consisting of bivariate information about protein domains to illustrate the efficiency and behaviour of the proposed models. These newly proposed models outperformed mixtures of well-known models for modelling toroidal data. A simulation study was carried out to find the best method for generating samples from the proposed models. Our results shed new light on proposal distributions in the MCMC sampling method for predicting the protein structure environment.
