Structural Alignment: Tertiary Structure, Polymer, Protein, RNA, Evolution, Convergent Evolution, Amino Acid - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Structural alignment attempts to establish equivalences between two or more polymer structures based on their shape and three-dimensional conformation. This process is usually applied to protein tertiary structures but can also be used for large RNA molecules. In contrast to simple structural superposition, where at least some equivalent residues of the two structures are known, structural alignment requires no a priori knowledge of equivalent positions. Structural alignment is a valuable tool for the comparison of proteins with low sequence similarity, where evolutionary relationships between proteins cannot be easily detected by standard sequence alignment techniques.
