Nucleic acid recognition by OB-fold proteinsDouglas L Theobald
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, Colorado 80309 0215, USA
Annu Rev Biophys Biomol Struct 32:115-33. 2003..Intriguingly, the observation of shared nucleic acid polarity may shed light on the longstanding question concerning OB-fold origins, indicating that it is unlikely that members of this family arose via convergent evolution...

Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO 80309 0215, USA
EMBO J 22:4314-24. 2003..This set of structural and thermodynamic data highlights a fundamental difference between protein recognition of ssDNA versus dsDNA...
Structural basis for telomeric single-stranded DNA recognition by yeast Cdc13Rachel M Mitton-Fry
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Colorado, UCB 215, Boulder, CO 80309-0215 USA
J Mol Biol 338:241-55. 2004..The structure reported here provides a foundation for understanding the mechanism by which Cdc13 recognizes GT-rich heterogeneous sequences with both unusually strong affinity and high specificity...
THESEUS: maximum likelihood superpositioning and analysis of macromolecular structuresDouglas L Theobald
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO 80309 0215, USA

Empirical Bayes hierarchical models for regularizing maximum likelihood estimation in the matrix Gaussian Procrustes problemDouglas L Theobald
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, UCB 215, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:18521-7. 2006..Our analysis generalizes, simplifies, and extends results from previous discussions of the ML Procrustes problem. An iterative algorithm is presented for the simultaneous, numerical determination of the ML solutions...
Divergent evolution within protein superfolds inferred from profile-based phylogeneticsDouglas L Theobald
