GTOP - Genomes To Protein structures

Although large-scale genome projects generate an unprecedented number of protein sequences, most of them are experimentally uncharacterized. Prediction of the 3D structures of the proteins encoded by sequences provides important clues to their functions. We constructed the Genomes TO Protein structures and functions (GTOP) database, containing protein fold predictions of a huge number of sequences. Predictions by homology are mainly carried out with the PSI-BLAST program. GTOP also includes the results of other analyses, e.g. homology and motif search, detection of transmembrane helices and repetitive sequences. GTOP uses a graphical viewer to present the analytical results of each ORF in one page in a ÂÂ\x81ecolor-barÂÂ\x81f format. The assigned 3D structures are presented by Chime plug-in or RasMol. The binding sites of ligands are also included, providing functional information. The GTOP server is available at http://spock.genes.nig.ac.jp/~genome/gtop.html.
