Background: An accurate description of protein shape derived from protein structure is necessary to establish an understanding of protein-ligand interactions, which in turn will l...
Background: Accurate small molecule binding site information for a protein can facilitate studies in drug docking, drug discovery and function prediction, but small molecule bindi...

One goal of the structural genomics initiative is the identification of new protein folds. Sequence-based structural homology prediction methods are an important means for priorit...
Background: Certain protein families are highly conserved across distantly related organisms and belong to large and functionally diverse superfamilies. The patterns of conservati...
