The protein sequences of a number of Azospirillaceae strains were investigated that contain the pf00669 domain and belong to a variety of bacterial flagellum systems with unusually large flagellin sizes. A set of tools for the homologous and template-based modeling of protein structures was used to reveal the probability of alternative folding, i.e., generation of two protein models with significantly different 3D structures and functions (flagellin or S-layer protein) for a single amino acid sequence.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
