on the effectiveness of distances measuring protein structure similarity
Determining similarity between two protein structures is one of the most fundamental problems in contemporary structural bioinformatics. With the increasing complexity of the measures, their effectiveness increases as well. However, other important observables, such as the degree of metric properties fulfilment, could rather deteriorate than improve. In this paper we introduce an effective measure and study its degree of metric properties fulfilment.
