theoretic methods for the analysis of structural relationships in
biological macromolecules |
|
Subgraph
isomorphism and maximum common subgraph isomorphism algorithms from
graph theory provide an effective and efficient way of identifying
structural relationships between biological macromolecules. They
thus provide a natural complement to the pattern matching algorithms
that are used in bioinformatics to identify sequence relationships.
Methods available here are applicable to different types of biological
macromolecules from carbohydrates to protein and nucleic acid structures.

The
IMAAAGINE program allows users to search for hypothetical amino acid 3D arrangement query to be searched against the PDB. Users design their own motif with specific residue types and distances between residues, with a flexible distance tolerance.
Go to IMAAAGINE main page
Input / Query file: Distanced based theoretical arrangement of amino acid residues (menu based selection and wild-card capability)
Database searched: PDB and PDB subsets
