Elite Engineer Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Does anyone know of a computer program that allows you to see the 3D structure of a protein, and all the side chain interactions? No urgent reason. I'd just like to have one ~EE
fiveworlds Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Just one?? http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/jsmol/jsmolgl.htm
Elite Engineer Posted June 29, 2016 Author Posted June 29, 2016 Looks confusing...does it show the individual side chain interactions (i.e. hydrogen bonding, etc)? TY, BTW!
CharonY Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 3D structures are typically based on crystallographic studies and are highly complex you can see and download structures form the PDB database. Not all structures are of sufficient resolution as the most common distance between a hydrogen and the acceptor in a given pair is usually below 2.5 angstrom. That being said, even a lower resolution structure can provide clues which and where certain moieties interact. In any case these are not trivial to understand.
BabcockHall Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 DeepView is one program that allows you to view a protein structure. There is a good tutorial available.
