Popis: Summary: Con-Struct Map is a graphical tool for the comparative study of protein structures. The tool detects potential conserved residue contacts shared by multiple protein structures by superimposing their contact maps according to a multiple structure alignment. In general, Con-Struct Map allows the study of structural changes resulting from, e.g. sequence substitutions, or alternatively, the study of conserved components of a structure framework across structurally aligned proteins. Specific applications include the study of sequence-structure relationship in distantly related proteins and the comparisons of wild type and mutant proteins.Availability: http://pdbrs3.sdsc.edu/ConStructMap/viewer_argument_generator/singleArgumentsContact: bourne@sdsc.eduSupplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
