We introduce a method for comparing protein structures using the notion of residue contexts based on protein Cα-atom backbones. The residue context is derived from the set of vec...
Background: Protein structural alignment provides a fundamental basis for deriving principles of functional and evolutionary relationships. It is routinely used for structural cla...
The structural comparison of proteins has become increasingly important as a means to identify protein motifs and fold families. In this paper we present a new algorithm for the c...
Background: Proteins show a great variety of 3D conformations, which can be used to infer their evolutionary relationship and to classify them into more general groups; therefore ...
Background: The functional selection and three-dimensional structural constraints of proteins in nature often relates to the retention of significant sequence similarity between p...
