Background: The identification of local similarities between two protein structures can provide clues of a common function. Many different methods exist for searching for similar ...
A TOPS diagram is a simplified description of the topology of a protein using a graph where nodes are α-helices and β-strands, and edges correspond to chirality relations and p...
The structural comparison of proteins has become increasingly important as a means to identify protein motifs and fold families. In this paper we present a new algorithm for the c...
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 ...
The process of protein crystallization is explained using the theory of robotics, particularly path planning of mobile robots. Path planning is a procedure which specifies motion ...
