Protein model building using structural homology

Nature volume 356, pages 543–544 (1992)Cite this article

Homology modelling software can predict the structure of a newly sequenced protein by incorporating conformational similarity information from related proteins for which atomic coordinates are known. Models built using structural data are more reliable than those based on sequence alignments alone.
