Dynamics based alignment of proteins: an alternative approach to quantify dynamic similarity
Background: The dynamic motions of many proteins are central to their function. It therefore follows that the dynamic requirements of a protein are evolutionary constrained. In or...

160-fold acceleration of the Smith-Waterman algorithm using a field programmable gate array (FPGA)
Background: To infer homology and subsequently gene function, the Smith-Waterman (SW) algorithm is used to find the optimal local alignment between two sequences. When searching s...

Segmentation Conditional Random Fields (SCRFs): A New Approach for Protein Fold Recognition
Abstract. Protein fold recognition is an important step towards understanding protein three-dimensional structures and their functions. A conditional graphical model, i.e. segmenta...

Evolutionary Pareto-optimization of stably folding peptides
Background: As a rule, peptides are more flexible and unstructured than proteins with their substantial stabilizing hydrophobic cores. Nevertheless, a few stably folding peptides ...

Projections for fast protein structure retrieval
Background: In recent times, there has been an exponential rise in the number of protein structures in databases e.g. PDB. So, design of fast algorithms capable of querying such d...
