We used the method of increment of diversity combined with quadratic discriminant analysis to predict the structure of central residue for a sequence fragment. The method is used tetra-peptide structural words and long- range contact number as information resources. The accuracy of Q3 is over 83% in 194 proteins. The accuracies of predicted secondary structures for 20 amino acid residues are ranged from 81% to 88%. Moreover, we have introduced the residue long-range contact, which directly indicates the separation of contacting residue in terms of the position in the sequence, and examined the negative influence of long-range residue interactions on predicting secondary structure in a protein. The method is also compared with existing prediction methods. The results show that our method is more effective in protein secondary structures prediction.展开更多
