Wrap-and-Pack: A New Paradigm for Beta Structural Motif Recognition with Application to Recognizing Beta Trefoils
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A method is presented that uses beta-strand interactions at both the sequence and the atomic level, to predict beta-structural motifs of protein sequences. A program called Wrap-and- Pack implements this method and is shown to recognize beta-trefoils, an important class of globular beta-structures, in the Protein Data Bank with 92% specificity and 92.3% sensitivity in cross-validation. It is demonstrated that Wrap-and-Pack learns each of the ten known SCOP beta-trefoil families, when trained primarily on beta-structures that are not beta-trefoils, together with three-dimensional structures of known beta-trefoils from outside the family. Wrap-and-Pack also predicts many proteins of unknown structure to be beta-trefoils. The computational method used here may generalize to other beta-structures for which strand topology and profiles of residue accessibility are well conserved.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
