Integrated Tools

Abstract

this paper is on new tools for structural and sequence analysis and visualization. AlignPlot, written in C and Python, provides a graphical representation of the RMSD values for each alignment in the set, allowing the user to quickly identify the regions of two structures that are most similar. Particularly important, it provides a user-friendly way to display specific alignments on the screen and navigate among them. MSFviewer, written in Python, provides an integrated link to sequence space, displaying multiple alignments of related sequences on the screen and providing for interactive highlighting of a selected structural align- ment and the associated multiple sequence alignmen
