SA-Search is a web tool that can be used to mine for protein structures and extract structural similarities. It is based on a hidden Markov model derived Structural Alphabet (SA) that allows the compression of three-dimensional (3D) protein conformations into a one-dimensional (1D) representation using a limited number of prototype conformations. Using such a representation, classical methods developed for amino acid sequences can be employed. Currently, SA-Search permits the performance of fast 3D similarity searches such as the extraction of exact words using a suffix tree approach, and the search for fuzzy words viewed as a simple 1D sequence alignment problem. SA-Search is available at http://bioserv.rpbs.jussieu.fr/cgi-bin/SA-Search.
SA-Search是一种网络工具,可用于挖掘蛋白质结构并提取结构相似性。它基于一种源自结构字母表(SA)的隐马尔可夫模型,该模型允许使用有限数量的原型构象将三维(3D)蛋白质构象压缩为一维(1D)表示形式。使用这种表示形式,可以采用为氨基酸序列开发的经典方法。目前,SA-Search允许执行快速的3D相似性搜索,例如使用后缀树方法提取精确词,以及将模糊词搜索视为简单的一维序列比对问题。可通过http://bioserv.rpbs.jussieu.fr/cgi-bin/SA-Search访问SA-Search。
