We developed a deductive database system PACADE for analyzing three dimensional and secondary structures of protein. PACADE is equipped with a function to search for similar structures in proteins. Unlike other approaches based on calculation of the inter-atomic root mean square distance, this function is based on logic programming and source level rule rewriting techniques.
We describe herein the result of searches for topologically similar structures and three dimensionally similar ones. A user of PACADE can select these two levels of similarities by adding/deleting prefixes.
