CAP: conformation angles package-displaying the conformation angles of side chains in proteins.
CONCLUSIONS
A graphics package has been developed to display all side chain conformation angles of the user selected residue in a given protein structure. The proposed package is incorporated with all the protein structures (solved using X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy) available in the Protein Data Bank. The package displays the multiple conformations adopted by a single amino acid residue whose structure is solved and refined at very high resolution. In addition, it shows the percentage distribution of the side chain conformation angles in different rotameric states.
