What Does FSSP Stand For?
FSSP stands for Families Of Structurally Similar Proteins
FSSP, or Families of Structurally Similar Proteins, is a comprehensive resource that categorizes protein structures based on their structural similarities. It facilitates the identification and analysis of evolutionary relationships among proteins by grouping them into families according to their three-dimensional conformations. FSSP serves as a valuable tool for researchers in fields such as bioinformatics, structural biology, and evolutionary biology, aiding in the understanding of protein function and the mechanisms of molecular evolution.
