| Description |
HSSP (homology-derived structures of proteins) is a derived database
merging structural (2-D and 3-D) and sequence information (1-D). For
each protein of known 3D structure from the Protein Data Bank, the
database has a file with all sequence homologues, properly aligned to
the PDB protein. Homologues are very likely to have the same 3D
structure as the PDB protein to which they have been aligned. As a
result, the database is not only a database of sequence aligned
sequence families, but it is also a database of implied secondary and
tertiary structures. Likely secondary structure are carried over from
the PDB protein to each homologous protein. Tertiary structure models
can be built by fitting the sequence of the homologue as aligned into
the 3D template of the protein of known structure. Special software is
needed to construct 3D models by homology, such WHATIF by Gert Vriend
or MaxSprout by Liisa Holm and Chris Sander.
