COLORADO3D -- A web server for the visual analysis of protein structures
What you can do:
Directly and visually analyze various features in three-dimensional protein structures.
Highlights:
- COLORADO3D indicates the presence of potential errors (detected by ANOLEA, PROSAII, PROVE or VERIFY3D), identifies buried residues and depicts sequence conservations.
- As input, the server takes a file of Protein Data Bank coordinates and, optionally, a multiple sequence alignment.
- As output, the server returns a PDB-formatted file, replacing the B-factor column with values of the chosen parameter (structure quality, residue burial or conservation).
- The coordinates of the analyzed protein x91coloredx92 by COLORADO3D can be conveniently displayed with structure viewers such as RASMOL in order to visualize the 3D clusters of regions with common features, which may not necessarily be adjacent to each other at the amino acid sequence level.
- COLORADO3D may serve as a tool to judge a structure's quality at various stages of the modeling and refinement (during both experimental structure determination and homology modeling).
