Prediction of protein three-dimensional structures in insertion and deletion regions: a procedure for searching data bases of representative protein fragments using geometric scoring criteria.

Abstract excerpt

The prediction of protein structure in insertion/deletion regions (referred to as indels) is an important part of protein model building by homology. Here we combine cluster analysis with data base search procedures. Initially, data bases of representative protein fragments are constructed using...
