Directionality in protein fold prediction
Background: Ever since the ground-breaking work of Anfinsen et al. in which a denatured protein was found to refold to its native state, it has been frequently stated by the prote...

Predicting conserved protein motifs with Sub-HMMs
Background: Profile HMMs (hidden Markov models) provide effective methods for modeling the conserved regions of protein families. A limitation of the resulting domain models is th...

Dynamics based alignment of proteins: an alternative approach to quantify dynamic similarity
Background: The dynamic motions of many proteins are central to their function. It therefore follows that the dynamic requirements of a protein are evolutionary constrained. In or...
