A structural alignment kernel for protein structures [PDF]
AbstractMotivation: This work aims to develop computational methods to annotate protein structures in an automated fashion. We employ a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to map from a given class of structures to their corresponding structural (SCOP) or functional (Gene Ontology) annotation.

Modeling of tertiary and quaternary protein structures by homology [PDF]
The structure of a protein is crucial to understand its function. Despite this importance, experimentally solved structures are only available for a small portion of the currently known protein sequences.

Analysis of Protein Disorder Predictions in the Light of a Protein Structural Alphabet
Intrinsically-disordered protein (IDP) characterization was an amazing change of paradigm in our classical sequence-structure-function theory. Moreover, IDPs are over-represented in major disease pathways and are now often targeted using small molecules ...

Structural Proteins of Reoviruses [PDF]
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the solubilized proteins from the three serotypes of reovirus revealed that each contained three major and four minor components. Subviral particles were prepared by brief treatment of complete virions with urea.

CATHEDRAL: A fast and effective algorithm to predict folds and domain boundaries from multidomain protein structures [PDF]
We present CATHEDRAL, an iterative protocol for determining the location of previously observed protein folds in novel multidomain protein structures. CATHEDRAL builds on the features of a fast secondary-structure-based method ( using graph theory) to ...

Structural dissection of two redox proteins from the shipworm symbiont Teredinibacter turnerae
The discovery of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs), a family of copper-dependent enzymes that play a major role in polysaccharide degradation, has revealed the importance of oxidoreductases in the biological utilization of biomass.
