A Topology Structure Based Outer Membrane Proteins Segment Alignment Method

Figure 4

The rawscore correlations of testing proteins. All the RC values of the testing proteins are pointed in blue and shown in separate columns. Those RC = 1 points respond to the alignments of queries with themselves. According to the 3D structure similarity, RC values of testing proteins fall into three different regions: region A (proteins are in the same superfamily), region B (proteins are OMPs), and region C (proteins are not OMP). Therefore, RC can be further used to measure the similarity of 3D structures instead of rawscore.
