[Molvis-list] protein visualisation

[Diana Irwin]

Dear Phil,
You can send your amino acid sequence (do not include the period at 
the end) to swiss model.
http://swissmodel.expasy.org//SWISS-MODEL.html
It will use a blast program to match your protein to proteins with 
known structures.  You will receive a file via email containing your 
sequence and any matches swiss model can find.  This file can then be 
opened from within Swiss PDB Viewer and you will see all of the files 
of all the relavent sturctures in the control panel window.  If you 
are new to Swiss PDB Viewer it is important and well worth the time 
to work the tutorials from Gale Rhodes. This very sophisticated and 
useful program works well with PCs and Macs and it is FREE!
