Background: The residue-wise contact order (RWCO) describes the sequence separations between the residues of interest and its contacting residues in a protein sequence. It is a ne...
Background: Protein structure prediction methods provide accurate results when a homologous protein is predicted, while poorer predictions are obtained in the absence of homologou...
A novel description of protein structure in terms of the generalized secondary structure elements (GSSE) is proposed. GSSE's are defined as fragments of the protein structure...
Background: Secondary structure is used in hierarchical classification of protein structures, identification of protein features, such as helix caps and loops, for fold recognitio...
