Protein Structure Alignment and Comparison
The document presents the procksi-server, an online decision support system designed for protein structure comparison. It discusses the importance of protein structures, existing comparison methods, and introduces procksi's unique approaches, including its home-grown methods like universal similarity metric (USM) and maximum contact map overlap (max-CMO). Finally, it emphasizes the need for a comprehensive platform that integrates various methods and facilitates user-friendly analysis for protein structure researchers.
