Abstract
Abstract The comparative analysis of protein sequence and structure has provided great insights into the function and evolution of proteins. This approach relies on both sequence comparison and structure comparison with the latter, giving the deepest view on distant relationships, especially when just the overall fold of the proteins is compared. The establishment of correlation between sequence features and structural features can allow structure to be predicted from sequence. This can range from isolated fragments of structure (sometimes called motifs) to the overall fold of the proteins. With the progress in the determination of genomes and many new structures from structural genomics programs, there is an increasing wealth of data for comparative analysis.
