5. SCop
• It is a Largely manual classification of proteins
• Similarities of structures
• Similarities of amino acid sequences
Basis of classification
SCOP classification can help us to determine the
evolutionary relationship between proteins.
6. Two Most Prominent Protein Structure
Classification Schemes Are SCOP And CATH
(Malik et al., 2020)
7. (Lin et al., 2013)
Types of secondary structures e.g. alpha helix or beta sheet or a/b & a+b.
The different shapes of domains within a class.
The domains in a fold are grouped into superfamilies, which have at least a distant
common ancestor (structural homology).
The domains in a fold in a superfamily are grouped into families, which have a more
recent common ancestor (sequence homology).
The domains in a families are grouped into protein domains, which are essentially the
same protein (Functionally identical).
Protein Domain
9. All alpha proteins: Secondary structure is composed entirely of
α-helices, with the possible exception of a few isolated β-sheets on
the periphery. Such as bromodomain, the globin fold etc.
(SCOP| Structural Classification of Proteins | What Is Scope Database? | Classifications in SCOP?, 2021)
10. All beta proteins: Secondary structure is composed entirely of β-
sheet, with the possible exception of a few isolated α-helices on the
periphery. Such as SH3 domain, the beta-propeller domain, the
immunoglobulin fold.
(SCOP| Structural Classification of Proteins | What Is Scope Database? | Classifications in SCOP?, 2021)
11. Alpha or beta proteins (a/b): Secondary structure is composed
alternating α-helices and β-strands along the backbone. The β-strands
are therefore mostly parallel. Such as flavodoxin fold, the TIM barrel
and leucine-rich-repeat (LRR) proteins such as ribonuclease inhibitor.
(SCOP| Structural Classification of Proteins | What Is Scope Database? | Classifications in SCOP?, 2021)
12. Alpha or beta proteins (a+b): Secondary structure is composed
of α-helices and β-strands that occur separately along the backbone.
The β-strands are therefore mostly antiparallel. Such as ferredoxin
fold, Pancreatic ribonuclease A and SH2 domain.
(SCOP| Structural Classification of Proteins | What Is Scope Database? | Classifications in SCOP?, 2021)
13. The source of protein structures in SCOP & CATH is PDB (Protein Data Bank) or UniProt ID.

18. (Lin et al., 2013)
The overall secondary structure content of the domain.
Architecture information on the secondary structure arrangement in three dimensional
space is basis of classification.
Information on how the secondary structure elements are connected and arranged is
the basis of Topology.
Assignments are made level if domains are related by evolution.
