Browsing the SLoop database of structurally classified loops connecting elements of protein secondary structure.
We describe a web server, which provides easy access to the SLoop database of loop conformations connecting elements of protein secondary structure. The loops are classified according to their length, the type of bounding secondary structures and the conformation of the mainchain. The current release of the database consists of over 8000 loops of up to 20 residues in length. A loop prediction method, which selects conformers on the basis of the sequence and the positions of the elements of secondary structure, is also implemented. These web pages are freely accessible over the internet at http://www-cryst.bioc.cam.ac.uk/ approximately sloop.
