Abstract : More than sixty years have passed since it has disclosed that protein can be developed from amino acid sequence. Structures of protein have proven to be a key piece of information for designing a drug, synthetic biology, and diagnosis of diseases. By knowing the protein structure, one can predict its function, find out how molecules or drugs skillfully bind with proteins and structural behavior of protein can help us to diagnose diseases and to invent new drugs. Due to the fast growth of protein sequence from the amino acid, it finds to be much more difficult with experimental techniques to obtain three-dimensional protein structures. Hence protein structure prediction (PSP) is still seen to be more important. Here in this paper, we are presenting a review about the formation of protein, different protein structure, factors affecting the tertiary structure, the importance of protein structure prediction, structural database, experimental and recent computational approaches for PSP, and similarity measures.
