This search is generally done by comparing the target sequence <strong>with</strong> thesequence of each of the structures in the database.There are two main classes of protein comparison methods that are useful in foldidentification. The first class compares the sequences of the target <strong>with</strong> each of thedatabase templates independently. This can be done by using pairwise sequencesequencecomparison (Apos<strong>to</strong>lico and Giancarlo 1998). The performance of thesemethods in sequence searching (Pearson 2000; Sauder et al. 2000) and fold assignments(Brenner et al. 1998) has been evaluated exhaustively. The most popular
