BSDD -- Biomolecules Segment Display Devicex97a web-based interactive display tool
What you can do:
Search for and visualize a user-defined motif or fragment among the protein structures available in the Protein Data Bank.
Highlights:
- The tool also works for the structures available in a selected sub-set of non-homologous protein structures (25% and 90% sequence identity).
- The graphics package RASMOL has been incorporated as an interface to visualize the 3D structure of the user-defined motif.
- In addition, the software can be used to extract the atomic coordinates of the required fragment and save them to the client system. The atomic coordinates are updated every week from the RCSBx96PDB server, and hence the results produced by BSDD are up to date at any given time.
Keywords:
- protein structures
- protein motifs
- protein motif visualization
