Abstract

We show that multiple structure alignment (MStA) using contact maps is equivalent to the problem of fnding a sample mean of contact maps. From this result, we derive a subgradient method for solving the MStA method. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm is a f exible alignment method that provides an excellent tradeoff between accuracy and speed.
