The detection of local structural patterns in proteins (e.g. active sites) can provide insights into protein function in the absence of sequence or fold similarity. Methods to detect such similarities are key during structural annotation, for example with results from Structural Genomics initiatives. PINTS (Patterns in Non-homologous Tertiary Structures, http://pints.embl.de) performs database searches for such patterns and most importantly provides a measure of statistical significance for any similarity uncovered. To aid functional annotation of proteins, we allow comparisons of pre-defined patterns against databases of complete structures and of entire structures to databases of particular residues likely to be functionally important.
