Methods for Secondary and Tertiary Structure Prediction of Microproteins

Microproteins are a novel and expanding group of small proteins encoded by less than 100-150 codons that are translated from small open reading frames (smORFs). It has been shown that smORFs and their corresponding microproteins make up a sizable fraction of the genome and proteome, but very little information on microproteins’ structural features exists in the literature. In this paper, we present the results of analyzing the predicted structures of 44 microproteins
