==Concept==
 
-
*Protein structures (3D) can be parsed into a finite number of structural alphabets (e.g. a torsion angle of each residue)
 
-
*From these '''structural alphabets''', we will identify meaningful structural words..
 
-
**Frequent structural words (motifs?) and popular sentences (super secondary structures?)
 
-
*Using these structural ''words'', 1) building a profile, 2) relating evolution of molecules (proteins & folds) and organismic phylogeny (genomes; a catalog of words, sentences..)
 
-
*Assumptions - ...
 
-
*Expectation - Multiple Birth (Birth and death) model??
 
-
==Procedure==
 
-
===Standard data set===
 
-
*We are going to use [http://scop.berkeley.edu the SCOP DB]: sequences and structures in the [http://astral.berkeley.edu/ Astral compendium]
 
-
 
-
===Torsion angles===
 
-
*Structural alphabets based on torsion angle distributions in the [e:ramachandran plot]
