The proteins can be +superimposed in order to deduce structural alignments and compare their +active sites or any other relevant parts. Amino acid mutations, H-bonds, +angles and distances between atoms are easy to obtain thanks to the +intuitive graphic and menu interface. + +Moreover, Swiss-PdbViewer is tightly linked to Swiss-Model, an automated +homology modelling server developped at Glaxo Welcome Experimental Research +in Geneva. Working with these two programs greatly reduces the amount of work +necessary to generate models, as it is possible to thread a protein primary +sequence onto a 3D template and get an immediate feedback of how well the +threaded protein will be accepted by the reference structure before +submitting a request to build missing loops and refine sidechain packing. + +Swiss-PdbViewer can also read electron density maps, and provides various +tools to build into the density. In addition, various modelling tools are +integrated and command files for popular energy minimisation packages can be +generated. + +Finally, as a special bonus, POV-Ray scenes can be generated from the +current view in order to make stunning ray-traced quality images. + +WWW: http://www.expasy.ch/spdbv/ |
