Abstract
Protein secondary structure prediction is important for accurate prediction of the 3D structure
of a protein. Over the years, many methods have been proposed for predicting secondary
structure. A recently described method that yields stateoftheart performance is the dynamic
Bayesian network (DBN) method of Yao et al. [1], which models the correlation between
neighboring amino acid profiles represented as position specific scoring matrices (PSSMs). In
this work, we replicate the dynamic Bayesian network of Yao et al. [1] using the Graphical
