Protein Data Representation: A Survey
Ahmed S. Fadel, Mohamed Belal, Mostafa-Sami M. Mostafa · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2012
One of the critical issues in bioinformatics is the data structure used for representing the protein data; this representation is a base for the operations applied such as sequence alignment, structure alignment and motif finding.In this paper, a survey of different representations and wellknown data structures used for protein data is presented from a computer science perspective.This work presents a survey and summarizes the efforts done for protein data representation and approximation.Hence, it could be a basic reference for research that is aiming to develop applications in the field of bioinformatics.
