Background: Protein structure analysis and comparison are major challenges in structural bioinformatics. Despite the existence of many tools and algorithms, very few of them have ...
Background: It is a major challenge of computational biology to provide a comprehensive functional classification of all known proteins. Most existing methods seek recurrent patte...
This paper describes a major restructuring of PROuST, a method for protein structure comparison, for an efficient porting to the Grid. PROuST consists of different components: an...
