  • Method for determining three-dimensional protein structure from primary protein sequence
    Publication number: 20060036374
    Abstract: The methods of the invention relate to improved methods for determining the optimal sequence alignments between a first protein sequence and a second protein sequence based upon the information from multiple reference structure-structure alignments.
    Type: Application

  • Method for determining functional sites in a protein
    Publication number: 20050089878
    Abstract: The present invention relates to improved methods for determining functional residues on the surface of a query protein. The claimed methods rely on determining a plurality of functional annotation scores for a query protein and comparing these functional annotation scores to distributions of similar functional annotation scores derived from a plurality of reference proteins. Based upon these comparisons, a putative functional cluster may be annotated as a functional cluster or a non-functional cluster.
