Comparing biomolecular contact structures: the algebraic way
نویسنده
چکیده
Contact structures are simplified models of RNA molecules, proteins, and other biopolymer three-dimensional structures. In this paper we study several algebraic representations of biomolecular contact structures and some metrics on sets of contact structures of a given length derived from these representations. We take the opportunity to recall a few problems that remain open in this field of research.

A unified framework for unraveling the functional interaction structure of a biomolecular network based on stimulus-response experimental data.
We propose a unified framework for the identification of functional interaction structures of biomolecular networks in a way that leads to a new experimental design procedure. In developing our approach, we have built upon previous work. Thus we begin by pointing out some of the restrictions associated with existing structure identification methods and point out how these restrictions may be ea...
متن کاملA Contact Problem of an Elastic Layer Compressed by Two Punches of Different Radii
The elasticity mixed boundary values problems dealing with half-space contact are generally well resolved. A large number of these solutions are obtained by using the integral transformation method and methods based the integral equations. However, the problems of finite layer thicknesses are less investigated, despite their practical interests. This study resolves a quasi-stationary problem of...
متن کاملMAGMA-JOINED-MAGMAS: A CLASS OF NEW ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURES
By left magma-$e$-magma, I mean a set containingthe fixed element $e$, and equipped by two binary operations "$cdot$", $odot$ with the property $eodot (xcdot y)=eodot(xodot y)$, namelyleft $e$-join law. So, $(X,cdot,e,odot)$ is a left magma-$e$-magmaif and only if $(X,cdot)$, $(X,odot)$ are magmas (groupoids), $ein X$ and the left $e$-join law holds.Right (and two-sided) magma-$e$-magmas are de...
متن کاملThe Heat-flow Method in Contact Geometry
Contact geometry treats such questions as the existence and classification of contact structures on manifolds of odd dimension and specified topological structure. See inequality (1) below. The geometric/analytic approach treated in this report introduces parabolic systems of partial differential equations (PDEs) in a way which complements the betterknown, more algebraic methods. This is a repo...
متن کاملA quantitative structure comparison with persistent similarity
Biomolecular structure comparison not only reveals evolutionary relationships, but also sheds light on biological functional properties. However, traditional definitions of structure or sequence similarity always involve superposition or alignment and are computationally inefficient. In this paper, I propose a new method called persistent similarity, which is based on a newly-invented method in...
