GR-Align 1.5 – Aligning Protein Structures

GR-Align 1.5

:: DESCRIPTION

GR-Align (GRaphlet-based Aligner) is a fast heuristic procedure for aligning/comparing protein structures according to the Contact Map Opverlap maximization (CMO) paradigm. The algorithm is based on a Needleman-Wunch algorithm where the cost for matching two residues is their graphlet degree similarity.

GR-Align packages contains three software: CMap, DCount, and GR-Align:
CMap converts protein structures (.pdb) files into contact map graphs (leda graphs .gw)
DCount computes the graphlet degree signatures (.ndump files) from Contact Maps
GR-Align aligns protein structures (requieres both contact maps and signatures files)
