Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Linking structural effects of mutations to functional outcomes is a major issue in structural bioinformatics, and many tools and studies have shown that specific structural properties such as stability and residue burial can be used to distinguish neutral variations and disease associated mutations. RESULTS: We have investigated 39 structural properties on a set of SNPs and disease mutations from the...
