SVM-Fold: a tool for discriminative multi-class protein fold and superfamily recognition
Background: Predicting a protein’s structural class from its amino acid sequence is a fundamental problem in computational biology. Much recent work has focused on developing ne...

Structural descriptor database: a new tool for sequence-based functional site prediction
Background: The Structural Descriptor Database (SDDB) is a web-based tool that predicts the function of proteins and functional site positions based on the structural properties o...

Multiple Structural RNA Alignment with Lagrangian Relaxation
In contrast to proteins, many classes of functionally related RNA molecules show a rather weak sequence conservation but instead a fairly well conserved secondary structure. Hence ...

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...

Evaluation Measures of Multiple Sequence Alignments
Multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) are frequently used in the study of families of protein sequences or DNA/RNA sequences. They are a fundamental tool for the understanding of th...
