Watch the Pairwise Alignment Tool Office Hour and learn how to align one or more protein chains to a reference structure in a pairwise manner
Introduction to RCSB PDB’s Pairwise Alignment Tool
The Pairwise Structure Alignment Tool (https://www.rcsb.org/alignment) can align one or more protein chains to a reference structure in a pairwise manner. This tool allows for simultaneous analysis and visualization of three-dimensional (3D) structure alignments and structure-based one-dimensional (

Here's a neat way to share you protein-annotated data 🚀🧪

Upload your .csv with residue/value data, select data column, colormap and norm to interactively color your protein model.

Then, add title/description and click the button to open a shareable view with url-encoded data and settings.

InterProt (interprot.com#/sae-viz/SAE...) is a tool that applies the same interpretability analysis used to make Golden Gate Claude to protein language models. For example feature 4000 recognizes residues lining inside of de novo designed & natural transmembrane beta-barrels (PDBs 6X1K, 6X9Z, 2MLH)
