Protein structures carry signal of common ancestry and can therefore aid in reconstructing their evolutionary histories. To expedite the structure-informed inference process, a web server, Structome, has been developed, that allows users to rapidly identify protein structures similar to a query protein and to assemble datasets useful for structure-based phylogenetics. Structome was created by clustering[~] 94% of the structures in RCSB PDB using 90% sequence identity and representing each cluster by a centroid structure. Structure similarity between centroid proteins was calculated, and annotations from PDB, SCOP and CATH were integrated. To illustrate utility, an H3 histone was used as a query, and results show that the protein structures returned by Structome span both sequence and structural diversity of the histone fold. Additionally, the pre-computed nexus-formated distance matrix, provided by Structome, enables analysis of evolutionary relationships between proteins not identifiable using searches based on sequence similarity alone. Our results demonstrate that, beginning with a single structure, Structome can be used to rapidly generate a dataset of structural neighbours and allows deep evolutionary history of proteins to be studied.

"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.
