Abstract
Information about a protein is produced by a number of steps including: Developing a specification of how local descriptors of protein structure are defined. Developing a local descriptors of protein structure database including calculated descriptors. Developing a definition of inter-descriptor similarity measure. Developing a local descriptors of protein structure class database of descriptors organized by their similarity. Producing information about any protein by analyzing said protein using the local descriptors of protein structure class database of descriptors organized by their similarity.

A method of producing information about a protein using a protein structure, comprising the steps of:
- developing a specification of how local descriptors of protein structure are defined,
- developing a local descriptors of protein structure database including calculated descriptors,
- developing a definition of inter-descriptor similarity measure,
- developing a local descriptors of protein structure class database of descriptors organized by their similarity, and
- producing information about any protein by analyzing said protein using the local descriptors of protein structure class database of descriptors organized by their similarity.
A system for producing information about a protein using a protein sequence, comprising:
- means for developing a specification of how local descriptors of protein structure are defined in said protein sequence,
- means for developing a local descriptors of protein structure database including calculated descriptors,
- means for developing a definition of inter-descriptor similarity measure,
- means for developing a local descriptors of protein structure class database of descriptors organized by their similarity, and
- means for producing information about said protein by analyzing said protein using the local descriptors of protein structure class database of descriptors organized by their similarity.
