Hierarchical Protein Structure Superposition Using Both Secondary Structure and Atomic Representations
The structural comparison of proteins has become increasingly important as a means to identify protein motifs and fold families. In this paper we present a new algorithm for the c...

Conserved residue clusters at protein-protein interfaces and their use in binding site identification
Background: Biological evolution conserves protein residues that are important for structure and function. Both protein stability and function often require a certain degree of st...

H2r: Identification of evolutionary important residues by means of an entropy based analysis of multiple sequence alignments
Background: A multiple sequence alignment (MSA) generated for a protein can be used to characterise residues by means of a statistical analysis of single columns. In addition to t...

Incorporating background frequency improves entropy-based residue conservation measures
Background: Several entropy-based methods have been developed for scoring sequence conservation in protein multiple sequence alignments. High scoring amino acid positions may corr...

Inter-residue distances derived from fold contact propensities correlate with evolutionary substitution costs
Background: The wealth of information on protein structure has led to a variety of statistical analyses of the role played by individual amino acid types in the protein fold. In p...
