Dear structural(-ly interested) biologist !
HIC-Up, the Hetero-compound Information Centre - Uppsala, has been updated and
now contains information on 7,452 hetero-entities. This is the last HIC-Up
version prior to the release of the remediated PDB. Hopefully, the remediation
will improve the quality of HIC-Up, but there could of course be unforeseen
hiccoughs ...
The lay-out of the compound pages has been modified slightly. In particular,
the "Off-site" links have been grouped together under the subheadings
Validation, Description, PDB entries, Structural biology and Miscellaneous.
In addition, there are compound-specific links to a number of new (external)
services, including ValLigURL (validation and comparison of ligand structures;
Uppsala), PROCOGNATE (lists proteins for which a compound is a cognate ligand,
if any; EBI), and FireDB (lists residues that interact with a ligand; CNIO,
Spain). Moreover,for each compound a link to its XML dictionary (from MSDchem)
is provided, as is a page for interactive visualisation with Jmol.
HIC-Up is available for local mirroring (follow the instructions in
http://xray.bmc.uu.se/hicup/mirror.html). You can also download a single PDB
file (ftp://xray.bmc.uu.se/pub/gerard/extras/hetero/hetero.pdb) that contains
experimental coordinates for all the compounds.
The URL for HIC-Up is:

For an example of the new HIC-Up pages, see the page for camphor, CAM, at URL
