Using linear algebra for protein structural comparison and classification
Using linear algebra for protein structural comparison and classification is a scholarly work by Raquel Cardoso de Melo Minardi, published in 2009 in ''Genetics and Molecular Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include pattern recognition, classifier, Search engine indexing, computational biology, singular value decomposition, protein structure prediction, protein structure, Protein Data Bank, gene regulatory network, biology, Protein Data Bank, algebra, computer science, linear algebra, and information retrieval. The authors describe a novel methodology to extract semantic characteristics from protein structures using linear algebra in order to compose structural signature vectors which may be used efficiently to compare and classify protein structures into fold families.
