In comparison to hitherto existing approaches in structural bioinformatics, especially methods from graph theory and computational geometry, our approach is computationally much more efficient. Moreover, despite its simplicity, it appears to capture and recover functional similarities surprisingly well.enText/Conference Paper1617-5468
