Application of protein structure alignments to iterated hidden Markov model protocols for structure prediction
Background: One of the most powerful methods for the prediction of protein structure from sequence information alone is the iterative construction of profile-type models. Because ...

Improved alignment quality by combining evolutionary information, predicted secondary structure and self-organizing maps
Background: Protein sequence alignment is one of the basic tools in bioinformatics. Correct alignments are required for a range of tasks including the derivation of phylogenetic t...

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...

Improving pairwise sequence alignment accuracy using near-optimal protein sequence alignments
Background: While the pairwise alignments produced by sequence similarity searches are a powerful tool for identifying homologous proteins - proteins that share a common ancestor ...

Structural descriptor database: a new tool for sequence-based functional site prediction
Background: The Structural Descriptor Database (SDDB) is a web-based tool that predicts the function of proteins and functional site positions based on the structural properties o...
