A database and tools for 3-D protein structure comparison and alignment using the Combinatorial Extension (CE) algorithm
What you can do:
Align and compare protein structures using the Combinatorial Extension (CE) algorithm.
Highlights:
- The Combinatorial Extension (CE) Resource locates proteins with similar folds and provides detailed pairwise structural alignments of those proteins.
- CE is particularly useful in the annotation of structures of unknown function likely to be the result of a worldwide structural genomics effort.
- Comparisons can be performed on the complete PDB or on a structurally representative subset of proteins. The source protein(s) can be from the PDB (updated monthly) or uploaded by the user.
- CE provides sequence alignments resulting from structural alignments and Cartesian coordinates for the aligned structures which may be analyzed using the Compare3D Java applet or downloaded for further local analysis.
Keywords:
- protein structures
- protein structural alignments
- protein structure alignments
