The examination of straightforwardly definable discrete structures in nucleic acids and proteins turned out to be perhaps the most important development in our present knowledge a...
Background: The accuracy of protein secondary structure prediction has been improving steadily towards the 88% estimated theoretical limit. There are two types of prediction algor...
Background: It has been previously shown that palindromic sequences are frequently observed in proteins. However, our knowledge about their evolutionary origin and their possible ...

Background: The functional sites of a protein present important information for determining its cellular function and are fundamental in drug design. Accordingly, accurate methods...
Background: A multiple sequence alignment (MSA) generated for a protein can be used to characterise residues by means of a statistical analysis of single columns. In addition to t...
