A protein contact map represents the distance between all possible amino acid residue pairs of a three-dimensional protein structure using a binary two-dimensional matrix. For two residues i {\displaystyle i} and j {\displaystyle j} , the i j {\displaystyle ij} element of the matrix is 1 if the two residues are closer than a predetermined threshold, and 0 otherwise.
