PdbMotif--a tool for the automatic identification and display of motifs in protein structures
1Department of Biomolecular Structure, Glaxo Group Research, Greenford, Middlesex, UK.
Abstract:
A program PdbMotif, which automatically identifies protein motifs in a protein data bank file and generates a script file which can be read directly by the molecular rendering program RasMol, is described. PdbMotif accepts the standard PROSITE pattern syntax and will scan the PROSITE pattern database or a set of user defined patterns. Any motifs detected are automatically highlighted in the RasMol image.
