title: Protein motifs and data-base searching.
abstract: Protein structure and sequence motifs are now recognized for many different protein families and topologies. To aid identification and use of these motifs in modelling and prediction, it has become necessary to establish consistent data bases of protein structure, including not only coordinates, but also derived data such as secondary structure location and solvent accessibilities. This article describes first attempts to construct such data bases and explains how they can be used.
