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 ...

Detection of distant evolutionary relationships between protein families using theory of sequence profile-profile comparison
Background: Detection of common evolutionary origin (homology) is a primary means of inferring protein structure and function. At present, comparison of protein families represent...

Evolutionary distance estimation and fidelity of pair wise sequence alignment
Background: Evolutionary distances are a critical measure in comparative genomics and molecular evolutionary biology. A simulation study was used to examine the effect of alignmen...

The contrasting properties of conservation and correlated phylogeny in protein functional residue prediction
Background: Amino acids responsible for structure, core function or specificity may be inferred from multiple protein sequence alignments where a limited set of residue types are ...
