Structural descriptor database: a new tool for sequence-based functional site prediction
Background: The Structural Descriptor Database (SDDB) is a web-based tool that predicts the function of proteins and functional site positions based on the structural properties o...

Predicting conserved protein motifs with Sub-HMMs
Background: Profile HMMs (hidden Markov models) provide effective methods for modeling the conserved regions of protein families. A limitation of the resulting domain models is th...

Can Clustal-style progressive pairwise alignment of multiple sequences be used in RNA secondary structure prediction?
Background: In ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules whose function depends on their final, folded three-dimensional shape (such as those in ribosomes or spliceosome complexes), the se...

Variation in structural location and amino acid conservation of functional sites in protein domain families
Background: The functional sites of a protein present important information for determining its cellular function and are fundamental in drug design. Accordingly, accurate methods...

Using structural motif descriptors for sequence-based binding site prediction
Background: Many protein sequences are still poorly annotated. Functional characterization of a protein is often improved by the identification of its interaction partners. Here, ...
