What you can do: Search for information on protein structures, domains, folds, and structural classifications.
Highlights:
  • This web site offers several new protocols for classifying structures in the CATH domain database.
  • These aim to increase the speed of classification of new structures using fast algorithms for structure comparison (GRATH) and to improve the sensitivity in recognizing distant structural relatives by incorporating sequence information from relatives in the genomes (DomainFinder).
  • The associated Dictionary of Homologous Superfamilies, which provides multiple structural alignments and functional information to assist in assigning new relatives, has also been expanded recently and now includes information for 903 homologous superfamilies.
Keywords:
  • protein structures
  • protein domains
  • protein structure classification
  • protein folds
  • protein superfamilies
  • protein structural alignments
