Development of an epitope conservancy analysis tool to facilitate the design of epitope-based diagnostics and vaccines
Background: In an epitope-based vaccine setting, the use of conserved epitopes would be expected to provide broader protection across multiple strains, or even species, than epito...

A novel series of compositionally biased substitution matrices for comparing Plasmodium proteins
Background: The most common substitution matrices currently used (BLOSUM and PAM) are based on protein sequences with average amino acid distributions, thus they do not represent ...

Detection of Correlations in tRNA Sequences with Structural Implications
Using a flexible representation of biological sequences, we have performed a comparative analysis of 1208 known tRNA sequences. We believe we our technique is a more sensitive met...

A New Program to Compute the Surface Properties of Biomolecules
The interactions of large molecules with surfaces and with each other are strongly dependent upon their surface, rather than their bulk properties. In addition, the local properti...

Protein Fold Recognition using Residue-Based Alignments of Sequence and Secondary Structure
Protein structure prediction aims to determine the three-dimensional structure of proteins form their amino acid sequences. When a protein does not have similarity (homology) to a...
