Comparative protein modelling by satisfaction of spatial restraints

A Šali, TL Blundell - Journal of molecular biology, 1993 - Elsevier
We describe a comparative protein modelling method designed to find the most probable
structure for a sequence given its alignment with related structures. The three dimensional (3D) …

pkCSM: predicting small-molecule pharmacokinetic and toxicity properties using graph-based signatures

DEV Pires, TL Blundell, DB Ascher - Journal of medicinal …, 2015 - ACS Publications
Drug development has a high attrition rate, with poor pharmacokinetic and safety properties
a significant hurdle. Computational approaches may help minimize these risks. We have …

FUGUE: sequence-structure homology recognition using environment-specific substitution tables and structure-dependent gap penalties

J Shi, TL Blundell, K Mizuguchi - Journal of molecular biology, 2001 - Elsevier
FUGUE, a program for recognizing distant homologues by sequence-structure comparison (http://www-cryst.bioc.cam.ac.uk/fugue/),
