mRNA molecules are folded in the cells and therefore many of their substrings may actually be inaccessible to protein and microRNA binding. The need to apply an accessability crite...

Knowing the number of residue contacts in a protein is crucial for deriving constraints useful in modeling protein folding, protein structure, and/or scoring remote homology searc...
Abstract. The hydrophobic-polar (HP) model for protein structure preabstracts the fact that hydrophobic interactions are a dominant force in the protein folding process. This model...

The 3D conformation of a protein may be compactly represented in a symmetrical, square, boolean matrix of pairwise, inter-residue contacts, or "contact map". The contact...

Background: Contact maps have been extensively used as a simplified representation of protein structures. They capture most important features of a protein's fold, being pref...
