LGA: a method for finding 3D similarities in protein structures
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the LGA (Local-Global Alignment) method, designed to facilitate the comparison of protein structures or fragments of protein structures in sequence dependent and sequence independent modes. The LGA structure alignment program is available as an online service at http://PredictionCenter.llnl.gov/local/lga. Data generated by LGA can be successfully used in a scoring function to rank the level of similarity between two structures and to allow structure classification when many proteins are being analyzed. LGA also allows the clustering of similar fragments of protein structures.

Finding Protein Family Similarities in Real Time through Multiple 3D and 2D Representations, Indexing and Exhaustive Searching
Research suggests that the complex geometric shapes of amino-acid sequence folds often determine their functions. In order to aid domain experts to classify new protein structures, and to be able to identify the functions of such new discoveries, accurate shape-related algorithms for locating similar protein structures are thus needed. To this end, we present our Content-based Analysis of Prote...
متن کاملMATRAS: a program for protein 3D structure comparison
The recent accumulation of large amounts of 3D structural data warrants a sensitive and automatic method to compare and classify these structures. We developed a web server for comparing protein 3D structures using the program Matras (http://biunit.aist-nara.ac.jp/matras). An advantage of Matras is its structure similarity score, which is defined as the log-odds of the probabilities, similar to...
متن کاملTarget detection Bridge Modelling using Point Cloud Segmentation Obtained from Photogrameric UAV
In recent years, great efforts have been made to generate 3D models of urban structures in photogrammetry and remote sensing. 3D reconstruction of the bridge, as one of the most important urban structures in transportation systems, has been neglected because of its geometric and structural complexity. Due to the UAV technology development in spatial data acquisition, in this study, the point cl...
متن کاملDetection of Distant Structural Similarities in a Set of Proteins Using a Fast Graph-Based Method
We introduce a method for finding weak structural similarities in a set of protein structures. Proteins are considered at their secondary structure level. The method uses a rigorous graph-theoretical algorithm which finds all structural similarities. Protein structures are modelled as undirected labelled graphs, the so-called protein graphs. We suggest that for detecting the similarities betwee...
متن کاملiPARTS: an improved tool of pairwise alignment of RNA tertiary structures
iPARTS is an improved web server for aligning two RNA 3D structures based on a structural alphabet (SA)-based approach. In particular, we first derive a Ramachandran-like diagram of RNAs by plotting nucleotides on a 2D axis using their two pseudo-torsion angles eta and . Next, we apply the affinity propagation clustering algorithm to this eta- plot to obtain an SA of 23-nt conformations. We fin...
