Protein Structure Abstractionand Automatic Clustering Using Secondary Structure Element Sequences

Hybrid Fuzzy Algorithm for Protein Clustering Using Secondary Structure Parameters

“…It is used to identify domains, classify proteins and recognize functional motifs [13]. Since secondary structure elements are general representation of protein structure, it is used to cluster a set of proteins at the abstraction level [11]. The amount of data required to abstract protein structure is reduced by representing it with secondary structure element sequence.…”

“…Sung Hee Park et al, [11] used k-means clustering algorithm for clustering protein secondary structures and distances between proteins are calculated using dynamic programming. But this method needs a number of clusters which are to be used in an initial state.…”
