Published: March 2004

We present FORTE, a profile-profile comparison tool for protein fold recognition. Users can submit a protein sequence to explore the possibilities of structural similarity existing in known structures. Results are reported via email in the form of pairwise alignments.

Structural data of biomolecules, such as those of proteins and nucleic acids, provide much information for estimation of their functions. For structure-unknown proteins, structure information is obtainable by modeling their structures based on sequence similarity of proteins. Moreover, information related to ligands or ligand-binding sites is necessary to elucidate protein functions because the binding of ligands can engender not only the activation and inactivation of the proteins but also the modification of protein functions.

Proteins often exist as their multimeric forms when they function as so-called biological assemblies consisting of the specific number and arrangement of protein subunits. Consequently, elucidating biological assemblies is necessary to improve understanding of protein function. Template-Based Modeling (TBM), based on known protein structures, has been used widely for protein structure prediction.

Most proteins from higher organisms are known to be multi-domain proteins and contain substantial numbers of intrinsically disordered (ID) regions. To analyse such protein sequences, those from human for instance, we developed a special protein-structure-prediction pipeline and accumulated the products in the Structure Atlas of Human Genome (SAHG) database at http://bird.cbrc.
