Discovering structural motifs using a structural alphabet: Application to magnesium-binding sites
Background: For many metalloproteins, sequence motifs characteristic of metal-binding sites have not been found or are so short that they would not be expected to be metal-specifi...

Dissecting protein loops with a statistical scalpel suggests a functional implication of some structural motifs
Background: One of the strategies for protein function annotation is to search particular structural motifs that are known to be shared by proteins with a given function. Results:...

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...

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'...

A combinatorial optimization approach for diverse motif finding applications
Background: Discovering approximately repeated patterns, or motifs, in biological sequences is an important and widely-studied problem in computational molecular biology. Most fre...
