The central premise is +of course, that for a closely related family of proteins (sequence ID +> 40%) the 3-D structures will not be significantly different.pdbdist +calculates the distance from each atom in the pdb file to each atom in +the ligand and records the minimum in the temperature field for that +atom record.distalign reads the output from pdbdist and also the +original GCG MSF file and produces an MSF file annotated with a +measure of sequence variability and the distance of the residue at +that position (of the sequence of known structure) from the ligand. |
