Description :

Identification of functional activity and responsible sequence sites of a protein (family) using molecular dynamics and sequence alignments.

The output of molecular dynamic simulation of alpha-carbon atom movement ("Eigenmodes") is stretched according to a structure-guided multiple sequence alignment of the corresponding residues. Several Eigenmodes of different sequences are combined into "cliques" of well-matching Eigenmodes according to a greedy strategy using cumulative pairwise Eigenmode similarity.

The cliques can be used to build trees based on Eigenmode distance and to iteratively refine the initial sequence alignment using Eigenmode properties.
