Popis: MSALigMap (Multiple Sequence Alignment Ligand Mapping) is a tool for mapping active-site amino-acid residues that bind selected ligands on to target protein sequences of interest. Users can also provide novel sequences (unavailable in public databases) for analysis. MSALigMap is written in Python. There are several tools and servers available for comparing and mapping active-site amino-acid residues among protein structures. However, there has not previously been a tool for mapping ligand binding amino-acid residues onto protein sequences of interest. Using MSALigMap, users can compare multiple protein sequences, such as those from different organisms or clinical strains, with sequences of proteins with crystal structures in PDB that are bound with the ligand/drug and DNA of interest. This allows users to easily map the binding residues and to predict the consequences of different mutations observed in the binding site. The MSALigMap server can be accessed at https://albiorix.bioenv.gu.se/MSALigMap/HomePage.py.
