Distance matrix analysis of mutual secondary structure pairs for multiple structure alignment
Chiang-Man Sun, Tun-Wen Pai, Jen-Chun Hung, Ying-Tsang Lo, Po-Hung Chen
The main goal of the proposed system is to enhance the mutual correlation of sec-ondary structure element (SSE) pairs for multiple structure alignment. The algo-rithm utilizes the local matching advan-tages through distance matrix approach to extract suitable candidates of SSE pairs. The similarity scores...

Functional Residue Prediction by Multiple Sequence Alignment for Carbohydrate Binding Modules
WI Chou, WY Chou, SC Lin, TY Jiang, CY Tang, Margaret DT Chang
Multiple sequence alignment is often used to locate consensus sequence stretches with evolutionary and functional conservation. However, when sequence similarity among the queries becomes low, sequence alignment tools generate extremely diverse results. The aim of this study is to incorporate relevant...
