+ | Full name: __Secondary Structure Alignment Program.__ | ||
+ | |||
+ | This secondary structure alignment program uses dynamic programming to align proteins by matching vectors between residues. For each residue in a protein, a local | ||
+ | structural environment is defined by a set of inter-atomic vectors. The method | ||
+ | matches residues by comparing these structural environments. An important aspect | ||
+ | of these environments is that because they are defined independently for each | ||
+ | residue, they are rotationally invariant, making their comparison insensitive | ||
+ | to the displacement of substructures. This method also allows other residue | ||
+ | properties to be included in the comparison, including solvent accessible | ||
+ | area and torsional angles (corresponding to degree of burial and secondary | ||
+ | structure), thus improving the alignment of remote protein structures. An important | ||
+ | advantage of this method is that it is completely automatic. This algorithm is used to | ||
+ | cluster structurally similar proteins in the CATH system. | ||
