Sparsifying distance matrices for protein-protein structure alignments

Antonio Mucherino, Inken Wohlers, Gunnar W. Klau, Rumen Andonov

Abstract

The problem of finding similarities between native protein conformations can be formulated as the problem of aligning inter-residue distance matrices. Recently proposed exact algorithms are able to solve this problem for large proteins only if the considered distance matrices are sparse. We propose a strategy for sparsifying distance matrices in which we keep the distances needed for uniquely reconstructing the conformations of the proteins.
