Multiobjectivizing the HP Model for Protein Structure Prediction
Abstract. The hydrophobic-polar (HP) model for protein structure preabstracts the fact that hydrophobic interactions are a dominant force in the protein folding process. This model...

Evolutionary rates at codon sites may be used to align sequences and infer protein domain function
Background: Sequence alignments form part of many investigations in molecular biology, including the determination of phylogenetic relationships, the prediction of protein structu...

Local comparison of protein structures highlights cases of convergent evolution in analogous functional sites
Background: We performed an exhaustive search for local structural similarities in an ensemble of non-redundant protein functional sites. With the purpose of finding new examples ...

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...

Predicting changes in protein thermostability brought about by single- or multi-site mutations
Background: An important aspect of protein design is the ability to predict changes in protein thermostability arising from single- or multi-site mutations. Protein thermostabilit...
