The Directional Atomic Solvation EnergY (DASEY) is an atom-based description of the environment of an amino acid position within a known 3D protein structure. The DASEY has been developed to align and score a probe amino acid sequence to a library of template protein structures for fold assignment. DASEY is computed by summing the atomic solvation parameters of atoms falling within a tetrahedral sector, or petal, extending 16 A along each of the four bond axes of each alpha-carbon atom of the pr ...[more]
