Structural similarity of CheY-like proteins

Abstract

The problem of structural similarity of polypeptide chains of low sequence similarity representing a similar 3D structural form has been the object of analysis of researchers engaged in the protein folding problem. Three homologous proteins of similar biological function with low sequence similarity are the objects of analysis presented in this paper. The structure of a hydrophobic core is used as the criterion for structural similarity assessment of these three proteins. The applied method allows recognition of differentiati on in topologically similar structures
