Abstract:
A method of comparing three dimensional structure of polymers such as proteins is provided herein comprising the steps of developing at least one key of the protein wherein each said at least one key is based on a quintuple of features consisting of three non-collinear objects in said protein, a representative angle between the three non-collinear objects, and a representative edge length, and comparing the key to either a known database of keys or a key developed for another protein to determine the protein or run a comparison thereof. Additionally, the invention includes a novel method of discovering motifs using key generation. The invention also covers a novel method for representation of protein and drug 3-D structures for the prediction of drug and target interactions.
