A reinforced merging methodology for mapping unique peptide motifs in members of protein families
Background: Members of a protein family often have highly conserved sequences; most of these sequences carry identical biological functions and possess similar three-dimensional (...

Structural alphabets derived from attractors in conformational space
Background: The hierarchical and partially redundant nature of protein structures justifies the definition of frequently occurring conformations of short fragments as `states'...

Assessing the ability of sequence-based methods to provide functional insight within membrane integral proteins: a case study an
Background: Efforts to predict functional sites from globular proteins is increasingly common; however, the most successful of these methods generally require structural insight. ...

Mining protein loops using a structural alphabet and statistical exceptionality
Background: Protein loops encompass 50% of protein residues in available three-dimensional structures. These regions are often involved in protein functions, e.g. binding site, ca...

Graph Alignments: A New Concept to Detect Conserved Regions in Protein Active Sites
: We introduce the novel concept of graph alignment, a generalization of graph isomorphism that is motivated by the commonly used multiple sequence alignments. Graph alignments and...
