GIS -- Gangsta+ Internet Services
What you can do:
Perform protein structure alignment.
Highlights:
- GIS is a web service for analysis of protein structures that are sequentially or non-sequentially similar was generated.
- GANGSTA+ can detect non-sequential structural analogs for proteins stated to possess novel folds.
- Since GANGSTA+ ignores the polypeptide chain connectivity of secondary structure elements (i.e. alpha-helices and beta-strands), it is able to detect structural similarities also between proteins whose sequences were reshuffled during evolution.
- GIS provides the resulting protein structure alignments as a public web-based service.
- Users can upload their own protein structures for pairwise protein structure comparison, alignment against all protein structures of the ASTRAL40 database (SCOP version 1.75) or symmetry analysis.
Keywords:
- protein structure alignment
