Background: Protein topology representations such as residue contact maps are an important intermediate step towards ab initio prediction of protein structure. Although improvemen...
The 3D conformation of a protein may be compactly represented in a symmetrical, square, boolean matrix of pairwise, inter-residue contacts, or "contact map". The contact...
