has topic Structural motif discovery Protein structural feature identification beta12orEarlier Identify or screen for 3D structural motifs in protein structure(s). This includes conserved substructures and conserved geometry, such as spatial arrangement of secondary structure or protein backbone. Methods might use structure alignment, structural templates, searches for similar electrostatic potential and molecular surface shape, surface-mapping of phylogenetic information etc. Protein structural motif recognition Protein structure analysis Protein feature detection Protein structural motifs and surfaces
