Background: Protein structural alignment provides a fundamental basis for deriving principles of functional and evolutionary relationships. It is routinely used for structural cla...
Background: Proteins show a great variety of 3D conformations, which can be used to infer their evolutionary relationship and to classify them into more general groups; therefore ...
Background: The task of computing highly accurate structural alignments of proteins in very short computation time is still challenging. This is partly due to the complexity of pr...
We introduce a method for comparing protein structures using the notion of residue contexts based on protein Cα-atom backbones. The residue context is derived from the set of vec...
