Batch mode generation of residue-based diagrams of proteins

Bioinformatics. 2003 Sep 22;19(14):1854-5. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btg236.

Abstract

Summary: Residue-based diagrams of proteins are graphical representations that can be used in protein information systems. These diagrams make it possible to visually integrate different types of biological information. The approach has been used successfully for membrane proteins. We developed the Residue-based diagram generator to (i) make it possible to generate residue-based diagrams of proteins in a batch mode that is compatible with the needs of information system curators, (ii) allow the generation of residue-based diagrams for families of soluble proteins or domains.
