Functional annotation by identification of local surface similarities: a novel tool for structural genomics
Background: Protein function is often dependent on subsets of solvent-exposed residues that may exist in a similar three-dimensional configuration in non homologous proteins thus ...

Analysis of substructural variation in families of enzymatic proteins with applications to protein function prediction
Background: Structural variations caused by a wide range of physico-chemical and biological sources directly influence the function of a protein. For enzymatic proteins, the struc...

Evolution of biological sequences implies an extreme value distribution of type I for both global and local pairwise alignment s
Background: Confidence in pairwise alignments of biological sequences, obtained by various methods such as Blast or Smith-Waterman, is critical for automatic analyses of genomic d...

Towards a Characterisation of the Behaviour of Stochastic Local Search Algorithms for SAT
Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms have been successfully applied to hard combinatorial problems from different domains. Due to their inherent randomness, the run-time behav...

160-fold acceleration of the Smith-Waterman algorithm using a field programmable gate array (FPGA)
Background: To infer homology and subsequently gene function, the Smith-Waterman (SW) algorithm is used to find the optimal local alignment between two sequences. When searching s...
