# MALISAM (Hugging Face Port)
Benchmark for structural analogs—non-homologous protein motifs with similar 3D structures.
## Overview
- 130 structurally aligned domain pairs with **no evolutionary relationship**
- First benchmark to explicitly evaluate **analog discrimination**
- Alignments are manually curated based on structural similarity alone
## Features
- `pair_id`, `group_id`, `set_name`
- `seq1_id`, `seq2_id`, `seq1`, `seq2`
- `ref_alignment`: list of residue index pairs (0-based)
- `percent_identity`: sequence identity across aligned residues
- `scop_labels`: optional (typically empty for MALISAM)
- `meta`: optional notes extracted from original text files
## Usage
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("DeepFoldProtein/MALISAM", name="all", split="test")
ex = ds[0]
print(ex["pair_id"], ex["ref_alignment"][:5])
```
