Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Programme Introduction to the molecular graphics and analysis of the most common protein folds with RasMol, Pymol and Chimera. Measurements of structural similarity between proteins, theory and applications (Dalilite, CE, PDBeFold and other tools). Databases of macromolecular structures: the Protein Data Bank, the wwPDB and the ePDB. Databases of structural domains: CATH, SCOP, and SCOP2. Databases of protein domains: Pfam, InterPro, InterProScan. Databases of computational models: ModBase and BioModels. Validation of experimental macromolecular structures. The problem of data redundancy.
