3dSS is a web-based interactive computing server, primarily designed to aid researchers, to superpose two or several 3D protein structures. In addition, the server can be effectively used to find the invariant and common water molecules present in the superposed homologous protein structures. The molecular visualization tool RASMOL is interfaced with the server to visualize the superposed 3D structures with the water molecules (invariant or common) in the client machine. Furthermore, an option is provided to save the superposed 3D atomic coordinates in the client machine. To perform the above, users need to enter Protein Data Bank (PDB)-id(s) or upload the atomic coordinates in PDB format. This server uses a locally maintained PDB anonymous FTP server that is being updated weekly. This program can be accessed through our Bioinformatics web server at the URL http://cluster.physics.iisc.ernet.in/3dss/ or http://10.188.1.15/3dss/.
3dSS是一个基于网络的交互式计算服务器,主要用于帮助研究人员对两个或多个三维蛋白质结构进行叠加。此外,该服务器还可有效用于查找叠加的同源蛋白质结构中存在的不变水分子和共用水分子。分子可视化工具RASMOL与服务器相连,以便在客户端机器上可视化带有(不变或共用)水分子的叠加三维结构。此外,还提供了一个选项,可在客户端机器上保存叠加的三维原子坐标。要执行上述操作,用户需要输入蛋白质数据库(PDB)编号或上传PDB格式的原子坐标。此服务器使用本地维护的PDB匿名FTP服务器,该服务器每周更新一次。可通过我们的生物信息学网络服务器,网址为http://cluster.physics.iisc.ernet.in/3dss/ 或http://10.188.1.15/3dss/ 访问此程序。
