Protein knot server -- detection of knots in protein structures

URL:
http://knots.mit.edu
What you can do:
Check PDB entries or uploaded structures to visualize protein knots.
Highlights:
  • The user submits a PDB id or uploads a 3D protein structure in PDB or mmCIF format.
  • The current implementation of the server uses the Alexander polynomial to detect knots.
  • The results of the analysis that are presented to the user are the location of the knot in the structure, the type of the knot and an interactive visualization of the knot.
  • The results can also be downloaded and viewed offline.
  • The server also maintains a regularly updated list of known knots in protein structures.
