Re: [ccp4bb] coiled-coil "degree"

Dear Jorge, It sounds like you want to estimate the 'pitch' parameter of a coiled coil. You can extract that information from the structure using TWISTER program, a server is available here: https://pharm.kuleuven.be/apps/biocryst/twister.php The alpha-helical chains need to be in-register, i.e. t

Gert, There is nothing wrong with suggesting 45 softwares, as one of those may do exactly what a person needs and save loads of time. Besides, comparing protein structures locally need not involve any superposition method. I would say comparing torsion angles/distances between atoms is a mor

Have a look at local distance difference test.https://swissmodel.expasy.org/lddt/ It's superposition-free and compares local atomic environment only. You will be able to see unusually different regions from the output. I am not aware of a similar structure comparison method that would also take

Hi Vikram, Try Buccaneer, it works much better at such resolution than Arp/Warp. Launch it several times with different parameters (e.g. use original structure as seed/initial/nothing), then open the results together and merge the pieces that look best and have lowest b-factors. Use Buster fo

Hi JI, Just FYI: we have a working setup of Nvidia 3D Vision on Quadro FX 3700 with Acer GD235HZ under Ubuntu 12. Quadro FX 3450/4000 was also tested (not officially supported by NVidia, but has all the capabilities) - although it works in principle, there was an annoying flickering effect I c
