Title
Molmovdb: Analysis And Visualization Of Conformational Change And Structural Flexibility
Abstract
The Database of Macromolecular Movements ( http: / / MolMovDB. org) is a collection of data and software pertaining to flexibility in protein and RNA structures. The database is organized into two parts. Firstly, a collection of morphs of solved structures representing different states of a molecule provides quantitative data for flexibility and a number of graphical representations. Secondly, a classification of known motions according to type of conformational change ( e. g. hinged domain or allosteric) incorporates textual annotation and information from the literature relating to the motion, linking together many of the morphs. A variety of subsets of the morphs are being developed for use in statistical analyses. In particular, for each subset it is possible to derive distributions of various motional quantities ( e. g. maximum rotation) that can be used to place a specific motion in context as being typical or atypical for a given population. Over the past year, the database has been greatly expanded and enhanced to incorporate new structures and to improve the quality of data. The morph server, which enables users of the database to add new morphs either from their own research or the PDB, has also been enhance to handle nucleic acid structures and multi- chain complexes.
