GASH: An improved algorithm for maximizing the number of equivalent residues between two protein structures
Background: We introduce GASH, a new, publicly accessible program for structural alignment and superposition. Alignments are scored by the Number of Equivalent Residues (NER), a q...

A Point-Matching Based Algorithm for 3D Surface Alignment of Drug-Sized Molecules
Abstract. Molecular shapes play an important role in molecular interactions, e.g., between a protein and a ligand. The `outer' shape of a molecule can be approximated by its s...
