Protein Advisor

Protein Adviser is a tool to visualize, analyze and draw biomolecular structures. It allows for easy manipulation of all entries in the Protein Data Bank: Proteins, DNA and compounds bound to them. The program provides:

  1. Structure Viewing - enables to visualize biomolecular structures using animation and stereo views. Special views such as alpha-carbon trace, main chain and side chain viewing are provided.

  2. Distance based Structure Picking - enables to find all atoms within a specified distance from a specified atom. Picked up atoms can be manipulated with the logging window.

  3. Sequence based Structure Manipulation - allows for manipulation of biomolecular structures with a sequence window. Dragging some residues or bases on a sequence instantly shows their positions in the structure.

  4. 3D Structure Comparison - allows to extract common substructures of proteins superimposed by the least square fitting procedure, based on specified residues, thus enabling to detect structurally conserved regions.

  5. 3D Structure Drawing - allows for coloring and labeling of residues, bases and compounds, that can be easily moved to other Macintosh DTP software with copy and paste.

  6. Other features include: Id Code Search for specified structures from Brookhaven Protein Data Bank, and Output in forms of PostScript, PICT and Brookhaven Protein Data Bank.

Protein Adviser is available for Macintosh computers with System 7 or later. It requires 5MB RAM. It is available from: Computer Chemistry Section, Fujitsu Kyushu System Engineering LTD, Hakata Eki Mae 1-5-1, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka 812, Japan TEL: +81-92-472-0714; Fax: +81-92-483-0663, E-mail: ccs@fqs.fujitsu.co.jp
