Abstract

The Structural Motifs of Superfamilies (SMoS) database provides information about the structural motifs of aligned protein domain superfamilies. Such motifs among structurally aligned multiple members of protein superfamilies are recognized by the conservation of amino acid preference and solvent inaccessibility and are examined for the conservation of other features like secondary structural content, hydrogen bonding, non-polar interaction and residue packing. These motifs, along with their sequence and spatial orientation, represent the conserved core structure of each superfamily and also provide the minimal requirement of sequence and structural information to retain each superfamily fold.
