Improved algorithms for quantifying the near symmetry of proteins: complete side chains analysis

Abstract Symmetry of proteins, an important source of their elegant structure and unique functions, is not as perfect as it may seem. In the framework of continuous symmetry, in which symmetry is no longer a binary yes/no property, such imperfections can be quantified and used as a global descriptor...
