A function of a protein is dependent on its structure; therefore, predicting a protein structure from an amino acid sequence is an active area of research. Optimally predicting a ...
In this paper, we propose a new layout algorithm that draws the secondary structure of a Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) automatically according to some of the biologists' aesthetic c...

Following Zuker (1986), a saturated secondary structure for a given RNA sequence is a secondary structure such that no base pair can be added without violating the definition of s...
Background: Mitochondrial tRNAs have been the subject of study for structural biologists interested in their secondary structure characteristics, evolutionary biologists have rese...

Background: Structural properties of proteins such as secondary structure and solvent accessibility contribute to three-dimensional structure prediction, not only in the ab initio...

Pseudoknots are a frequent RNA structure that assumes essential roles for varied biocatalyst cell's functions. One of the most challenging fields in bioinformatics is the pre...
Background: Circular Dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is a widely used method for studying protein structures in solution. Modern synchrotron radiation CD (SRCD) instruments have consi...

Background: In sequence analysis the multiple alignment builds the fundament of all proceeding analyses. Errors in an alignment could strongly influence all succeeding analyses an...
Background: The accuracy of protein secondary structure prediction has steadily improved over the past 30 years. Now many secondary structure prediction methods routinely achieve ...
