Clustering is commonly used to identify the best decoy among many generated in protein structure prediction when using energy alone is insufficient. Calculation of the pairwise distance matrix for a large decoy set is computationally expensive. Typically, only a reduced set of decoys using energy filtering is subjected to clustering analysis. A fast clustering method for a large decoy set would be beneficial to protein structure prediction and this still poses a challenge.
