Translation Libration Screw Motion Determination (TLSMD)[63] divides the protein into<br />

segments whose rigid body motions best account for the observed distribution of<br />

temperature factors in a crystal structure.<br />

The FO (FlexOracle) family of hinge predictors generates protein fragments based on all<br />

possible locations of one or two cuts on the backbone. It is based on the idea that<br />

structural domains fold independently, therefore when the cuts coincide with the hinge<br />

location, the free energy of folding will be minimal for the corresponding fragment pair.<br />

HingeSeq is a hinge predictor based not on structure but rather on sequence features.<br />

These methods are complementary to each other and to hNM since they use very<br />

different information, namely bond network topology, experimental thermal factors,<br />

estimated domain free energy of folding, and sequence. We run all of the predictors<br />

against the HAG, then use various qualitative and quantitative measures to benchmark<br />

and compare the performance of each method. Lastly, we combine all of the methods<br />

using a voting scheme to create a new predictor called HingeMaster.<br />

The hNM family of normal mode based hinge predictors<br />
