JOY is a program to annotate protein sequence alignments with three-dimensional (3D) structural features. It was developed to display 3D structural information in a sequence alignment and to help understand the conservation of amino acids in their specific local environments.
: The JOY representation now constitutes an essential part of the two databases of protein structure alignments: HOMSTRAD (http://www-cryst.bioc.cam.ac.uk/homstrad ) and CAMPASS (http://www-cryst.bioc.cam.ac. uk/campass). It has also been successfully used for identifying distant evolutionary relationships.
The program can be obtained via anonymous ftp from torsa.bioc.cam.ac.uk from the directory /pub/joy/. The address for the JOY server is http://www-cryst.bioc.cam.ac.uk/cgi-bin/joy.cgi.
JOY是一个用于用三维(3D)结构特征注释蛋白质序列比对的程序。它的开发目的是在序列比对中展示3D结构信息,并帮助理解氨基酸在其特定局部环境中的保守性。
JOY表示法现在构成了两个蛋白质结构比对数据库的重要组成部分:HOMSTRAD(http://www-cryst.bioc.cam.ac.uk/homstrad )和CAMPASS(http://www-cryst.bioc.cam.ac.uk/campass)。它也已成功用于识别远缘进化关系。
该程序可通过匿名ftp从torsa.bioc.cam.ac.uk的/pub/joy/目录获取。JOY服务器的地址是http://www-cryst.bioc.cam.ac.uk/cgi-bin/joy.cgi。
