Integrating protein structures and precomputed genealogies in the Magnum database: Examples with cellular retinoid binding prote
Background: When accurate models for the divergent evolution of protein sequences are integrated with complementary biological information, such as folded protein structures, anal...

Reuse of structural domain-domain interactions in protein networks
Background: Protein interactions are thought to be largely mediated by interactions between structural domains. Databases such as iPfam relate interactions in protein structures t...

Secondary structure assignment that accurately reflects physical and evolutionary characteristics
Background: Secondary structure is used in hierarchical classification of protein structures, identification of protein features, such as helix caps and loops, for fold recognitio...

Detection of distant evolutionary relationships between protein families using theory of sequence profile-profile comparison
Background: Detection of common evolutionary origin (homology) is a primary means of inferring protein structure and function. At present, comparison of protein families represent...

Discovering structural motifs using a structural alphabet: Application to magnesium-binding sites
Background: For many metalloproteins, sequence motifs characteristic of metal-binding sites have not been found or are so short that they would not be expected to be metal-specifi...
