	Gleaning non-trivial structural, functional and evolutionary information about proteins by iterative database searches. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Gleaning non-trivial structural, functional and evolutionary information about proteins by iterative database searches.We show that PSI-BLAST can detect many, though not all, of such relationships, but the success critically depends on the optimal choice of the query sequence used to initiate the search.
		Generally, there is a correlation between the diversity of the sequences detected in the first pass of database screening and the ability of a given query to detect subtle relationships in subsequent iterations.
		Accordingly, a thorough analysis of protein superfamilies at the sequence level is necessary in order to maximize the chances of gleaning non-trivial structural and functional inferences, as opposed to a single search, initiated, for example, with the sequence of a protein whose structure is available.
