Detection of protein symmetry and structural rearrangements using secondary structure elements.

Abstract excerpt

Many proteins exhibit a degree of internal symmetry in their tertiary structure, including circular permutations. These characteristics play an important role in terms of the functional robustness of proteins against mutations, and are pivotal for the study of protein function and evolution. Proteins exhibiting internal symmetry often demonstrate enhanced functional benefits, such as increased binding affinity...
