ProSA-web -- Protein Structure Analysis
What you can do:
Interactive web service for the recognition of errors in three-dimensional structures of proteins.
Highlights:
- A major problem in structural biology is the recognition of errors in experimental and theoretical models of protein structures. The ProSA program is an established tool which has a large user base and is frequently employed in the refinement and validation of experimental protein structures and in structure prediction and modeling.
- The new service presented here is a straightforward and easy to use extension of the classic ProSA program which exploits the advantages of interactive web-based applications for the display of scores and energy plots that highlight potential problems spotted in protein structures.
- In particular, the quality scores of a protein are displayed in the context of all known protein structures and problematic parts of a structure are shown and highlighted in a 3D molecule viewer.
- The service specifically addresses the needs encountered in the validation of protein structures obtained from X-ray analysis, NMR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations.
