Accuracy of structure-based sequence alignment of automatic (structure-alignment) methods Changhoon Kim and BK Lee Laboratory of Molecular Biology CCR/NCI/NIH
What we did … • Evaluated 7 structure alignment programs selected based on their availability and popularity (CE, DaliLite, FAST, LOCK2, MATRAS, SHEBA, VAST) • Standard of truth: NCBI’s CDD alignments Conserved Domain Database is manually procured. Contains only the conserved core residues. • Performance Measure
Average fraction of correctly aligned residues (Average FCAR) Average FCAR Maximum allowed shift error
Sequence similarity dependence of Average FCAR(0) Average FCAR(0) Number of superfamilies Sequence similarity (% identity)
Variation of fCAR for individual structure pairs Correctly aligned fractions (fCAR) Alignments sorted by fCAR(0) within each superfamily
An example of alignment errors CE alignment DaliLite alignment CDD alignment
