The spatial preference factor is a reflection of the environment of residues in tertiary structure. Compared with the phyletic relationships derived from sequence homologies and three-dimensional structures, we find that the two lines of evolution are similar in general. This approach is applied to a group of glins here.展开更多

文摘A distance measure that infers to indicate the evolutionary relationship of protein structures has been developed based on spatial preference factors of residues. The spatial preference factor is a reflection of the environment of residues in tertiary structure.
