In this work we present a new string similarity feature, the sparse spatial sample (SSS). An SSS is a set of short substrings at specific spatial displacements contained in the or...
One goal of the structural genomics initiative is the identification of new protein folds. Sequence-based structural homology prediction methods are an important means for priorit...
Background: The protein folding problem remains one of the most challenging open problems in computational biology. Simplified models in terms of lattice structure and energy func...
Proteins are large organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain (primary structure). Most proteins fold into unique threedimensional (3D) structures called inte...
