Application of Sequence Alignment Methods to Multiple Structural Alignment and Superposition.
Arthur M. Lesk · 1998
Abstract. With the goal of developing ecient multiple structural alignment methods, we have asked which of the pairwise structure alignment methods lends itself most readily to generalization to multiple structure alignment. A simple linear encoding of the sequence and associated residue conformation can be treated by standard multiple sequence alignment methods. Key words: Protein structure, multiple alignment 1
