Abstract

Motivation: The three dimensional tertiary structure of a protein at near atomic level resolution provides insight alluding to its function and evolution. As protein structure decides its functionality, similarity in structure usually implies similarity in function. As such, structure alignment techniques are often useful in the classifications of protein function. Given the rapidly growing rate of new, experimentally determined structures being made available from repositories such as the Protein Data Bank, fast and accurate computational structure comparison tools are required. This paper presents SPalignNS, a non-sequential protein structure alignment tool using a novel asymmetrical greedy search technique. Results: The performance of SPalignNS was evaluated against existing sequential and nonsequential structure alignment methods by performing trials with commonly used datasets. These benchmark datasets used to gauge alignment accuracy include (i) 9538 pairwise alignments implied by the HOMSTRAD database of homologous proteins; (ii) a subset of 64 difficult alignments from set (i) that have low structure similarity; (iii) 199 pairwise alignments of proteins with similar structure but different topology; and (iv) a subset of 20 pairwise alignments from the RIPC set. SPalignNS is shown to achieve greater alignment accuracy (lower or comparable root-mean squared distance with increased structure overlap coverage) for all datasets, and the highest agreement with reference alignments from the challenging dataset (iv) above, when compared with both sequentially constrained alignments and other non-sequential alignments.

*NONFICTION
Abstract

This essay reviews Don H. Doyle's Faulkner's County: The Historical Roots of Yoknapatawpha and Edouard Glissant's Faulkner Mississippi. Doyle's book is a detailed social history of Lafayette County, the county in Northern Mississippi on which Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha was based, and I argue that he illustrates the ways in which fiction and history can assist each other in the search for truth. Glissant's book is more dense and philosophical, and I offer an interpretation of his claim that Faulkner's fiction works through 'deferred revelation,' a literary process that is inseparable from social and cultural Creolization. I argue that Glissant's reading of Faulkner suggests possible ways in which to re-vision literary modernism. Together, the two books underscore the historical and philosophical significance and value of Faulkner's work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
