The amino acid sequence of a protein is the key to understanding its structure and ultimately its function in the cell. This paper addresses the fundamental issue of encoding amin...
We consider the problem of identifying common three-dimensional substructures between proteins. Our method is based on comparing the shape of the α-carbon backbone structures of ...

A protein is a sequence of amino-acids of length typically less than 1, 000, where there are 20 kinds of amino-acids. In nature, each protein is folded into a well-defined three-d...
While much research has been done on finding similarities between protein sequences, there has not been the same progress on finding similarities between protein structures. Here ...

Background: Detecting homology between remotely related protein families is an important problem in computational biology since the biological properties of uncharacterized protei...
