Prediction of protein structural classes for low-homology sequences based on predicted secondary structure
Background: Prediction of protein structural classes (a, b, a + b and a/b) from amino acid sequences is of great importance, as it is beneficial to study protein function, regulat...

Evidence against the Paradigm of Energy Minimization in Protein Design
Abstract-- Stating protein design as an energy minimization in the space of amino acid sequences and rotamer combinations is usual. In the current paper an evolutionary algorithm b...

Very Low Power to Detect Asymmetric Divergence of Duplicated Genes
Abstract. Asymmetric functional divergence of paralogues is a key aspect of the traditional model of evolution following duplication. If one gene continues to perform the ancestral...
