A Multi-strategy Approach to Protein Structural Alphabet Design
- The search for structural similarity among proteins can provide valuable insights into their functional mechanisms and their functional relationships. Though the protein 1D seque...

Mining protein loops using a structural alphabet and statistical exceptionality
Background: Protein loops encompass 50% of protein residues in available three-dimensional structures. These regions are often involved in protein functions, e.g. binding site, ca...

Dissecting protein loops with a statistical scalpel suggests a functional implication of some structural motifs
Background: One of the strategies for protein function annotation is to search particular structural motifs that are known to be shared by proteins with a given function. Results:...

Pairwise covariance adds little to secondary structure prediction but improves the prediction of non-canonical local structure
Background: Amino acid sequence probability distributions, or profiles, have been used successfully to predict secondary structure and local structure in proteins. Profile models ...
