Which of the following is untrue regarding TMHMM?(a) It is a web-based program based on an HMM algorithm(b) It is trained to recognize transmembrane helical patterns(c) It is not trained to recognize transmembrane helical patterns(d) When a query sequence is scanned, the probability of having an α-helical domain is givenThis question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.I'd like to ask this question from Secondary Structure Prediction for Transmembrane Proteins in portion Secondary Structure Prediction of Bioinformatics

Answer»

The correct option is (c) It is not trained to RECOGNIZE transmembrane helical patterns

For explanation: It is trained to recognize transmembrane helical patterns based on a training set of 160 well-characterized helical membrane proteins. The orientation of the α-helices is predicted based on the positive-inside rule. The prediction output RETURNS the number of transmembrane helices, the BOUNDARIES of the helices, and a GRAPHICAL representation of the helices. This program can also be used to SIMPLY distinguish between globular proteins and membrane proteins.
