Automatic generation of 3D motifs for classification of protein binding sites
Background: Since many of the new protein structures delivered by high-throughput processes do not have any known function, there is a need for structure-based prediction of prote...

Using structural motif descriptors for sequence-based binding site prediction
Background: Many protein sequences are still poorly annotated. Functional characterization of a protein is often improved by the identification of its interaction partners. Here, ...

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 ...

Predicting conserved protein motifs with Sub-HMMs
Background: Profile HMMs (hidden Markov models) provide effective methods for modeling the conserved regions of protein families. A limitation of the resulting domain models is th...
