Tools for the identification of trans-membrane spans from the protein sequence are widely used in the experimental community. Computational structural biology seeks to increase the...
Background: In ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules whose function depends on their final, folded three-dimensional shape (such as those in ribosomes or spliceosome complexes), the se...
Background: In recent years protein structure prediction methods using local structure information have shown promising improvements. The quality of new fold predictions has risen...
Background: The number and the arrangement of subunits that form a protein are referred to as quaternary structure. Quaternary structure is an important protein attribute that is ...
