Abstract: | A simple approach for the sensitive detection of distant relationships among protein families and for sequence-structure alignment via comparison of hidden Markov models based on their quasi-consensus sequences is presented. Using a previously published benchmark dataset, the approach is demonstrated to give better homology detection and yield alignments with improved accuracy in comparison to an existing state-of-the-art dynamic programming profile-profile comparison method. This method also runs significantly faster and is therefore suitable for a server covering the rapidly increasing structure database. A server based on this method is available at http://liao.cis.udel.edu/website/servers/modmod |
