PFplus -- Patch Finder Plus
What you can do:
A web server for extracting and displaying positive electrostatic patches on protein surfaces.
Highlights:
- The input required for PFplus is either a four letter PDB code or a protein coordinate file in PDB format, provided by the user.
- PFplus computes the continuum electrostatics potential and extracts the largest positive patch for each protein chain in the PDB file.
- The server provides an output file in PDB format including a list of the patch residues.
- In addition, the largest positive patch is displayed on the server by a graphical viewer (Jmol), using a simple color coding.
