Dear memebers,


Thank you all firsit for the helps on my previous post about sequence alignment. They are really useful!

Apologize for the off-topic question again. I usually use DSSP method to calculate the secondary structures on my sovled structures. I saw a nice schematic representation for secondary structure from PDB database website (please see the attached figure). Does anyone know whether there is a program to draw these schematics? Thank you.

King regards,
Wenhe

I believe Procheck generates drawings such as those. It generates PostScript files, and if you need to have (eg) jpg files, a PostScript interpreter, screen capture and there you are (Gimp to select only the areas you're interested in)

HTH,

Fred.

The convert command from the ImageMagick package on Linux
can usually deal with any image format conversion.

Aline does also read a dssp file and print the schematic representation above.
Probably this is also possible with STRAP. I am not sure which program exactly
the pdb use for their diagrams.
