A structural keystone for drug design
3D-structures of proteins and potential ligands are the cornerstones of rational drug design. The first brick to build upon is selecting a protein target and finding out whether b...

Protein Fold Recognition Using Segmentation Conditional Random Fields (SCRFs)
Protein fold recognition is an important step towards understanding protein three-dimensional structures and their functions. A conditional graphical model, i.e., segmentation con...

On the structure of the inverse kinematics map of a fragment of protein backbone
Loop closure in proteins requires computing the values of the inverse kinematics (IK) map for a backbone fragment with 2n 6 torsional degrees of freedom (dofs). It occurs in a va...

Local comparison of protein structures highlights cases of convergent evolution in analogous functional sites
Background: We performed an exhaustive search for local structural similarities in an ensemble of non-redundant protein functional sites. With the purpose of finding new examples ...
