Structure Classification of Proteins (SCOP)
  • Global-to-Global Protein Structure Comparisons:
    ProteinDBS is the first real-time search engine for retrieving similar protein tertiary structures in Protein Data Bank (PDB). This system provides two types of query method: query by PDB protein chain ID and by 3D coordinates of newly-discovered proteins in PDB format. With computational techniques, similar protein structures with ranked order will be returned to users in seconds. Our database proteins are weekly updated to be consistent with PDB database.

  • SCOP Fold Classifications:
    To understand the information archived in the protein structures, Structural Classification of Protein Database (SCOP) manually constructed by human experts classifies similar protein structures in the same fold hierarchy. Even though this approach is believed to be more reliable than applying structural alignment tools for structural classifications, it is labor intensive. We build a real-time system, E-PREDICT, which supports fast classification of newly-discovered proteins into SCOP fold. Users are allowed to submit 3-D coordinates of protein structures in the PDB format. A list of candidate SCOP folds is then quickly ranked and displayed to users.
