SPOC: A widely distributed domain associated with cancer, apoptosis and transcription
Background: The Split ends (Spen) family are large proteins characterised by N-terminal RNA recognition motifs (RRMs) and a conserved SPOC (Spen paralog and ortholog C-terminal) d...

SIMPROT: Using an empirically determined indel distribution in simulations of protein evolution
Background: General protein evolution models help determine the baseline expectations for the evolution of sequences, and they have been extensively useful in sequence analysis an...

3D Structural Homology Detection via Unassigned Residual Dipolar Couplings
Recognition of a protein’s fold provides valuable information about its function. While many sequence-based homology prediction methods exist, an important challenge remains: tw...

A replica exchange Monte Carlo algorithm for protein folding in the HP model
Background: The ab initio protein folding problem consists of predicting protein tertiary structure from a given amino acid sequence by minimizing an energy function; it is one of...

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 ...
