Relating destabilizing regions to known functional sites in proteins
Background: Most methods for predicting functional sites in protein 3D structures, rely on information on related proteins and cannot be applied to proteins with no known relative...

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 ...

Promoter prediction and annotation of microbial genomes based on DNA sequence and structural responses to superhelical stress
Background: In our previous studies, we found that the sites in prokaryotic genomes which are most susceptible to duplex destabilization under the negative superhelical stresses t...

Graph Alignments: A New Concept to Detect Conserved Regions in Protein Active Sites
: We introduce the novel concept of graph alignment, a generalization of graph isomorphism that is motivated by the commonly used multiple sequence alignments. Graph alignments and...

Towards Site-Based Protein Functional Annotations
Abstract—The exact relationship between protein active centers and protein functions is unclear even after decades of intensive study. To improve the functional prediction abilit...
