title: The use of folding patterns in the search of protein structural similarities; a three-dimensional model of phosphoribosyl transferases.
abstract: A new way to predict the topologies of proteins of unknown three-dimensional structure is derived from the comparison of the distribution of the strongest predicted secondary structures with equivalent distributions recorded for proteins of known X-ray structures. As an illustration the tentative three-dimensional model of phosphoribosyl transferases which was proposed by Argos et al. is rediscussed.
