Background: Experimentally determined protein structures may contain errors and require validation. Conformational criteria based on the Ramachandran plot are mainly used to disti...
Background: In sequence analysis the multiple alignment builds the fundament of all proceeding analyses. Errors in an alignment could strongly influence all succeeding analyses an...
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: In recent years, the number of available RNA structures has rapidly grown reflecting the increased interest on RNA biology. Similarly to the studies carried out two de...
Background: Protein structural data has increased exponentially, such that fast and accurate tools are necessary to access structure similarity search. To improve the search speed...
