Protein Bioinformatics

Protein bioinformatics focuses on understanding the sequence-structure-function relationship of proteins using the techniques in bioinformatics, biophysics and computational biology.  It explains all aspects of proteins including sequence and structure analysis, prediction of protein structures, protein folding, protein stability, and protein interactions.

With the advent of statistical techniques to infer protein contacts from multiple sequence alignments (which you can read more about here), accurate protein structure prediction in the absence of a template has become possible.
