Amino acid torsion angles enable prediction of protein fold classification

Abstract Protein structure can provide insights that help biologists to predict and understand protein functions and interactions. However, the number of known protein structures has not kept pace with the number of protein sequences determined by high-throughput sequencing. Current techniques used...
