Background: Empirical scoring functions have proven useful in protein structure modeling. Most such scoring functions depend on protein side chain conformations. However, backbone...
Background: The mechanisms underlying protein function and associated conformational change are dominated by a series of local entropy fluctuations affecting the global structure ...
Background: Residue depth allows determining how deeply a given residue is buried, in contrast to the solvent accessibility that differentiates between buried and solvent-exposed ...

Background: Proteins that evolve from a common ancestor can change functionality over time, and it is important to be able identify residues that cause this change. In this paper ...
Background: Profile-profile methods have been used for some years now to detect and align homologous proteins. The best such methods use information from the background distributi...
