CCB researchers have developed a variety of tools, web servers and databases. Many of these resources are available online or can be downloaded; usage agreements vary.
Brenner Group
- ANDY – ANDY is a general, fault-tolerant tool for database searching on computer clusters.
- ASTRAL – The ASTRAL compendium provides databases and tools useful for analyzing protein structures and their sequences. It is partially derived from, and augments the SCOP: Structural Classification of Proteins database. Most of the resources provided here depend upon the coordinate files maintained and distributed by the Protein Data Bank.
- cgi-lib.pl – The cgi-lib.pl library has become the de facto standard library for creating Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts in the Perl language.
- doublet – doublet is a modified version of the Smith-Waterman algorithm that incorporates patterns of dipeptide covariation to align protein sequences.
- SCOP – Nearly all proteins have structural similarities with other proteins and, in some of these cases, share a common evolutionary origin. The SCOP database, created by manual inspection and abetted by a battery of automated methods, aims to provide a detailed and comprehensive description of the structural and evolutionary relationships between all proteins whose structure is known. As such, it provides a broad survey of all known protein folds, detailed information about the close relatives of any particular protein, and a framework for future research and classification.
- SCOR – The Structural Classification of RNA (SCOR) is a database designed to provide a comprehensive perspective and understanding of RNA motif structure, function, tertiary interactions and their relationships. SCOR 2.0.3 provides a survey of the three-dimensional motifs contained in 579 NMR and X-ray RNA structures available as of May 15, 2004. This includes 8,270 secondary structural elements, of which 2,920 are hairpin loops and 5,350 are internal loops. The structural elements are organized in a directed acyclic graph (DAG) architecture, allowing multiple parent classes for a motif. Users can browse the database or search by PDB or NDB identifier, keyword or sequence. Descriptions and cartoon representations of each of the classes are available. RNA motifs reported in the literature (e.g. Kink turns, S-turns, GNRA loops) are incorporated into the classification.
