Abstract:
Contact map of protein plays an extremely important role in the study of protein structures. Combinatorially, protein contact maps can be seen as generalization of RNA secondary structures. However, counting protein contact maps is much more difficult than that of RNA secondary structures due to the significant higher vertex degree. In this talk, we will formulate the study of protein contact maps in the framework of combinatorics, like what has been done in the field of RNA secondary structures, and introduce previous and future works of the Nankai Research Group of Combinatorics and Computational Biology.
