Bioinformatics: sequence, structure and databanks

Abstract

Threading methods for protein structure prediction (David Jones and Caroline Hadley). Comparison of protein three-dimensional structures (Mark S. Johnson and Jukka V. Lehtonen). Multiple alignments for structural, functional, or phylogenetic analyses of homologous sequences (L. Duret and S. Abdeddaim). Hidden Markov models for database similarity searches (Ewan Birney). Protein family-based methods for homology detection and analysis (Steven Henikiff and Jorja Henikoff). Predicting secondary structure from protein sequences (Jaap Heringa). Methods for discovering conserved patterns in protein sequences and structures (Inge Jonassen). Comparison of protein sequences and practical database searching (Golan Yona and Steven E. Brenner). Networking for the biologist (R.A. Harper). SRS - Access to molecular biological databanks and integrated data analysis tools (D.P. Kreil and T. Etzold). Protocol list.
