Abstract
We report a method for estimating the conformational likeness between any t wo proteins. Likeness is handled in terms of stochastic geometry, fuzzy log ic and decision making theories. Using the method, a computer system LIKENE SS was developed. The system does <<real time>> searching and spatial align ment of any, PDB-available proteins. LIKENESS is accessible at URL: <<http: //cl.sdsc.edu/>>.
