Background: The secondary structure of an RNA must be known before the relationship between its structure and function can be determined. One way to predict the secondary structur...
Background: Structural alignment is an important step in protein comparison. Well-established methods exist for solving this problem under the assumption that the structures under...

Proteins are large organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain (primary structure). Most proteins fold into unique threedimensional (3D) structures called inte...

Background: A structure alignment method based on a local geometric property is presented and its performance is tested in pairwise and multiple structure alignments. In this appr...
