Figure 1From: A novel method to compare protein structures using local descriptorsOverview of the DEDAL algorithm. The procedure comprises three stages: (1) identification of descriptors in compared molecules; (2) comparing them all against all to find a set of local substructures common to both molecules; and (3) building an alignment of identified local similarities using one, or a combination of TS, CTS and Monte Carlo algorithms (see text).Back to article page
