The dimer contains a \u223c300-residue long \u03b1-helical coiled coil which cannot be assessed by either direct experimental structure determination or modelling using standard approaches. At the same time, coiled coils are well-represented in structural databases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Here we present CCFold, a generally applicable threading-based algorithm which produces coiled-coil models from protein sequence only. The algorithm is based on a statistical analysis of experimentally determined structures and can handle any hydrophobic repeat patterns in addition to the most common heptads. We demonstrate that CCFold outperforms general-purpose computational folding in terms of accuracy, while being faster by orders of magnitude. By combining the CCFold algorithm and Rosetta folding we generate representative dimer models for all IF protein classes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The source code is freely available at https:\/\/github.com\/biocryst\/IF; a web server to run the program is at http:\/\/pharm.kuleuven.be\/Biocrystallography\/cc.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btx551","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,1]],"date-time":"2017-09-01T15:13:44Z","timestamp":1504278824000},"page":"215-222","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["CCFold: rapid and accurate prediction of coiled-coil structures and application to modelling intermediate filaments"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Dmytro","family":"Guzenko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sergei V","family":"Strelkov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012712235379500_btx551-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"705","DOI":"10.1016\/S0092-8674(03)00935-8","article-title":"The bacterial cytoskeleton: an intermediate filament-like function in cell shape","volume":"115","author":"Ausmees","year":"2003","journal-title":"Cell"},{"key":"2023012712235379500_btx551-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"28349","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.M111.334011","article-title":"The structure of vimentin linker 1 and rod 1b domains characterized by site-directed spin-labeling electron paramagnetic resonance (sdsl-epr) and X-ray crystallography","volume":"287","author":"Aziz","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
