# DeepBLAST - structural alignment from sequence alone 

- DeepBLAST can structurally align proteins using only sequence information by identifying structurally homologous regions between proteins
- It outperforms traditional sequence alignment methods and performs similarly to structure-based alignment methods. 

A detailed description of the method can be found in the paper by [Hamamsy et al., 2023](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-023-01917-2).
