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 ...

H2r: Identification of evolutionary important residues by means of an entropy based analysis of multiple sequence alignments
Background: A multiple sequence alignment (MSA) generated for a protein can be used to characterise residues by means of a statistical analysis of single columns. In addition to t...

Evaluation Measures of Multiple Sequence Alignments
Multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) are frequently used in the study of families of protein sequences or DNA/RNA sequences. They are a fundamental tool for the understanding of th...

An On/Off Lattice Approach to Protein Structure Prediction from Contact Maps
Abstract. An important unsolved problem in structural bioinformatics is that of protein structure prediction (PSP), the reconstruction of a biologically plausible three-dimensional...

Suboptimal Alignments Improve the Detection of Weak Homologs in Sequence Database Searches
PSI-BLAST remains one of the popular tools for searching remote homologs in sequence databases. We recently demonstrated that hybrid alignment can function as the alignment core f...
