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 ...

Automatic discovery of cross-family sequence features associated with protein function
Background: Methods for predicting protein function directly from amino acid sequences are useful tools in the study of uncharacterised protein families and in comparative genomic...

Mining protein family specific residue packing patterns from protein structure graphs
Finding recurring residue packing patterns, or spatial motifs, that characterize protein structural families is an important problem in bioinformatics. To this end, we apply a nov...
