Protein meta-functional signatures from combining sequence, structure, evolution, and amino acid property information.

Protein function is mediated by different amino acid residues, both their positions and types, in a protein sequence. Some amino acids are responsible for the stability or overall shape of the protein, playing an indirect role in protein function. Others play a functionally important role as part of...
