Improving pairwise sequence alignment accuracy using near-optimal protein sequence alignments
Background: While the pairwise alignments produced by sequence similarity searches are a powerful tool for identifying homologous proteins - proteins that share a common ancestor ...

Accurate prediction of protein secondary structure and solvent accessibility by consensus combiners of sequence and structure in
Background: Structural properties of proteins such as secondary structure and solvent accessibility contribute to three-dimensional structure prediction, not only in the ab initio...

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...

Functional site prediction selects correct protein models
Background: The prediction of protein structure can be facilitated by the use of constraints based on a knowledge of functional sites. Without this information it is still possibl...

Multiple structure alignment and consensus identification for proteins
Background: An algorithm is presented to compute a multiple structure alignment for a set of proteins and to generate a consensus (pseudo) protein which captures common substructu...
