This paper investigates the sequence-structure specificity of a representative knowledge based energy function by applying it to threading at the level of secondary structures of proteins. Assessing the strengths and weaknesses of an energy function at this fundamental level provides more detailed and insightful information than at the tertiary structure level and the results obtained can be useful in tertiary level threading.
