MCP: A multi-component learning machine to predict protein secondary structure.

The Gene or DNA sequence in every cell does not control genetic properties on its own; Rather, this is done through the translation of DNA into protein and subsequent formation of a certain 3D structure. The biological function of a protein is tightly connected to its specific 3D structure. Prediction of the protein secondary structure is a crucial intermediate step towards elucidating its 3D structure and function.
