DDBASE : (DIAL-derived domain database)

A database of Globular domains derived from non-redundant set of protein chains. This is usefull for the sequence analysis of aligned domains, for structural comparisions, for understanding domain stability and flexibility and for fold recognition procedures. Domains are defined by the program DIAL.

New Features :

Major changes made in DIAL program
Loop regions also considered for clustering
In this approach Secondary structures and Loops have been choped into
fixed residue size segments.
Helix   15 residue segment

Programs :

SSTRUC

SSTRUC is a program to read in a Brookhaven format file and to calculate torsions and seocondary structure assignments. It was originally written by David Smith as a replacment for the DSSP program of Kabsch and Sander.

DISMAT10

This program reads SSTRUC output and produces matrix of proximity indices for all possible segments

KITSCH2

This program clusters segments based on the proximity indices. It was written by Joseph Felsenstein.

DISJOINT

program for identifying clusters from output of KITSCH2 program. This also claculates the Disjoint factor for all possible clusters and gives the table of possible Domain definition.

DANAL

This program creates PDB files corresponding to individual domains and also creates subsidiary files which gives more information about domains including interdomain distance proximity.

Modifications

Domains with lesser than 26 residues are made continuous with its contiguous domain.

Segments with lesser than 16 residues within a domain are combined to their contiguous segments occuring in any of the domains with the objective to reduce the number of discontinuous segments within a domain.

Modified entries are marked with red blinking star (*)
