Flexible structural protein alignment by a sequence of local transformations
MOTIVATION Throughout evolution, homologous proteins have common regions that stay semi-rigid relative to each other and other parts that vary in a more noticeable way. In order to compare the increasing number of structures in the PDB, flexible geometrical alignments are needed, that are reliable and easy to use. RESULTS We present a protein structure alignment method whose main feature is t...
متن کامل6.8 Local Sequence Alignment
log g i,j f(j) . For large n, the resulting PAM matrices often allow one to find related proteins even when there are practically no matches in the alignment. In this case, the underlying nucleotide sequences are so diverged that their comparison usually fails to find any statistically significant similarities. For example, the similarity between the cancer-causing ν-sis oncogene and the growth...
متن کاملProtein Sequence Alignment Analysis by Local Covariation: Coevolution Statistics Detect Benchmark Alignment Errors
The use of sequence alignments to understand protein families is ubiquitous in molecular biology. High quality alignments are difficult to build and protein alignment remains one of the largest open problems in computational biology. Misalignments can lead to inferential errors about protein structure, folding, function, phylogeny, and residue importance. Identifying alignment errors is difficu...
متن کاملDatabase searching by flexible protein structure alignment.
We have recently developed a flexible protein structure alignment program (FATCAT) that identifies structural similarity, at the same time accounting for flexibility of protein structures. One of the most important applications of a structure alignment method is to aid in functional annotations by identifying similar structures in large structural databases. However, none of the flexible struct...
