Abstract

Protein 3-D structures are more functionally conserved than sequence and this claims the need of developing a computational tool for accurate protein structure comparison at the global and local levels. We have developed a novel geometry-based method for protein 3-D structure comparison using the concept of Triangular Spatial Relationship (TSR).

Summary

Introduction

Protein 3-D structures are more functionally conserved than sequence and this claims the need of developing a computational tool for accurate protein structure comparison at the global and local levels. We have developed a novel geometry-based method for protein 3-D structure comparison using the concept of Triangular Spatial Relationship (TSR). The analysis of keys provides a deeper insight into structure and function relations of the proteins. 100% of serine proteases, kinases, and phosphatases have one of these two keys, and these two keys have their specific Theta and MaxDist values.
