Evolutionarily related proteins can present similar structures but very dissimilar sequences. Hence, understanding the role of the inter-residues contacts for the protein structure has been the target of many studies. Contacts comprise non-covalent interactions, which are essential to stabilize macromolecular structures such as proteins. Here we show VTR, a new method for the detection of analogous contacts in protein pairs. The VTR web tool performs structural alignment between proteins and det ...[more]
