PIC -- Protein Interactions Calculator
What you can do:
Explore interactions between and within proteins.
Highlights:
- Protein Interactions Calculator (PIC) is a server which, given the coordinate set of 3D structure of a protein or an assembly, computes various interactions such as disulphide bonds, interactions between hydrophobic residues, ionic interactions, hydrogen bonds, aromatic-aromatic interactions, aromatic-sulphur interactions and cation-pi interactions within a protein or between proteins in a complex.
- Interactions are calculated on the basis of standard, published criteria.
- The identified interactions between residues can be visualized using a RasMol and Jmol interface.
- The advantage with PIC server is the easy availability of inter-residue interaction calculations in a single site.
- It also determines the accessible surface area and residue-depth, which is the distance of a residue from the surface of the protein.
- User can also recognize specific kind of interactions, such as apolar-apolar residue interactions or ionic interactions, that are formed between buried or exposed residues or near the surface or deep inside.
