Motivation:
To extract the maximum possible information from a set of protein sequences, its modular organization must be known and clearly displayed. This is important both for structural and functional analysis.
Results:
This paper presents an algorithm and a graphical interface called XDOM which performs a systematic analysis of the modular organization of any set of protein sequences. The algorithm is an automatic method to identify putative domains from sequence comparisons. The graphical tool displays the proteins as a set of linked boxes, corresponding to its domains. The method has been tested on a family of bacterial proteins and on whole genomes. It is currently applied to the complete SWISS-PROT database to build the PRODOM database.
Availability:
XDOM is available free of charge by anonymous ftp:¿¿ftp://ftp.toulouse.inra.fr/pub/xdom¿ ¿. The ProDom database can be consulted at ¿¿http://protein.toulouse.inra.fr/prodom.html¿¿.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...
