ASSIST: a fast versatile local structural comparison tool
MOTIVATION Structural genomics initiatives are increasingly leading to the determination of the 3D structure of target proteins whose catalytic function is not known. The aim of this work was that of developing a novel versatile tool for searching structural similarity, which allows to predict the catalytic function, if any, of these proteins. RESULTS The algorithm implemented by the tool is ...
متن کاملLocal Scoring Rules: A Versatile Tool for Inference
In many applications of highly structured statistical models the likelihood function is intractable; in particular, finding the normalisation constant of the distribution can be demanding. One way to sidestep this problem is to to adopt composite likelihood methods, such as the pseudo-likelihood approach. In this paper we display composite likelihood as a special case of a general estimation te...
متن کاملA Fast Algorithm for Protein Structural Comparison
The goal of protein structural comparison attempts to establish an equivalence relation between polymer structures based on their shapes and threedimensional conformations. Root mean square deviation (RMSD), a frequently-used approach, measures the average distance between the selected atoms of superimposed proteins. Although the RMSD is most popularly implemented, it suffers from a few drawbac...
متن کاملLocal Structural Comparison with Global Structural Descriptors
Protein sequence and structure are fundamental objects in computational biology. The sequence comparison problem has been widely addressed, resulting in a spectrum of algorithms ranging from the sensitive ones such as profile-HMM to fast ones such as k-mer indexing, arguably culminated in BLAST, where a practical balance of sensitivity and speed is achieved. Current structural comparison method...
متن کاملA Fast Versatile Optical Profilometer
The surface quality of a workpiece, as it is finished by the tooling machine, can be translated into a set of numbers (one or more) which depend on the specific measuring procedures. We illustrate this with respect to the three classes of profilometer techniques either available or suggested, namely: mechanical profilometers, detection of the angular scattering diagram, speckle correlation. A m...
