Dynamic network analysis improves protein 3D structural classification [PDF]
Protein structural classification (PSC) is a supervised problem of assigning proteins into pre-defined structural (e.g., CATH or SCOPe) classes based on the proteins' sequence or 3D structural features. We recently proposed PSC approaches that model protein 3D structures as protein structure networks (PSNs) and analyze PSN-based protein features, which

A novel methodology on distributed representations of proteins using their interacting ligands [PDF]
The effective representation of proteins is a crucial task that directly affects the performance of many bioinformatics problems. Related proteins usually bind to similar ligands. Chemical characteristics of ligands are known to capture the functional and mechanistic properties of proteins suggesting that a ligand based approach can be utilized in ...

Disordered proteins and network disorder in network descriptions of protein structure, dynamics and function. Hypotheses and a comprehensive review [PDF]
During the last decade, network approaches became a powerful tool to describe protein structure and dynamics. Here we review the links between disordered proteins and the associated networks, and describe the consequences of local, mesoscopic and global ...

Virtual Identification of Essential Proteins Within the Protein Interaction Network of Yeast [PDF]
Topological analysis of large scale protein-protein interaction networks (PINs) is important for understanding the organisational and functional principles of individual proteins. The number of interactions that a protein has in a PIN has been observed to be correlated with its indispensability.

Towards Reliable Automatic Protein Structure Alignment
A variety of methods have been proposed for structure similarity calculation, which are called structure alignment or superposition. One major shortcoming in current structure alignment algorithms is in their inherent design, which is based on local ...
