PDBePISA (Proteins, Interfaces, Structures and Assemblies)

PDBePISA is an interactive tool for the exploration of macromolecular interfaces.

With PDBePISA, you can:

• Retrieve pre-calculated results for the whole PDB archive.
• Calculate results interactively for structures uploaded as PDB or mmCIF files
  These calculated results include:
  • structural and chemical properties of macromolecular surfaces and interfaces
  • probable quaternary structures (assemblies), their structural and chemical properties and probable dissociation pattern
• search the PDB archive for particular interfaces formed by structural homologs.
• search the PISA database of pre-calculated results using a wide range of options, such as:
  • multimeric state,
  • symmetry number,
  • space group,
  • accessible/buried surface area,
  • free energy of dissociation,
  • presence/absence of salt bridges and disulphide bonds,
  • homomeric type,
  • ligands
  • keywords
• assess the significance (biological role) of macromolecular interfaces
• download and visualise structures, interfaces and assemblies using Rasmol (Unix/Linux platforms),Rastop (MS Windows machines) andJmol (platform-independent server-side java viewer)
