METHOD, APPARATUS AND ARTICLE TO FACILITATE ANALYSIS OF MULTI-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURES, FOR EXAMPLE PROTEINS OR POLYMERS

摘要

A symbology or mapping between multi-dimensional topographical parameters and characters allows multi-dimensional topographical problems to be turned into one-dimensional sequence problems, allowing fast, computationally efficient and robust sequence analysis methodologies to be employed. Substitution matrices allow the scoring of matches or hits. Such techniques may be applied to proteins, polymers or other multi-dimensional structures.
