Establishment of similarities between proteins is very important for the study of the relationship between sequence, structure and function and for the analysis of evolutionary relationships. Motif-based search methods play a crucial role in establishing the connections between proteins that are particularly useful for distant relationships. This paper reports SCANMOT, a web-based server that searches for similarities between proteins by simultaneous matching of multiple motifs. SCANMOT searches for similar sequences in entire sequence databases using multiple conserved regions and utilizes inter-motif spacing as restraints. The SCANMOT server is available via http://www.ncbs.res.in/~faculty/mini/scanmot/scanmot.html.
确定蛋白质之间的相似性对于研究序列、结构和功能之间的关系以及分析进化关系非常重要。基于基序的搜索方法在建立蛋白质之间的联系方面起着关键作用,这对于远缘关系尤为有用。本文报道了SCANMOT,一个基于网络的服务器,它通过同时匹配多个基序来搜索蛋白质之间的相似性。SCANMOT使用多个保守区域在整个序列数据库中搜索相似序列,并利用基序间的间距作为限制条件。可通过http://www.ncbs.res.in/~faculty/mini/scanmot/scanmot.html访问SCANMOT服务器。
