title: DECOMP: a PDB decomposition tool on the web.
abstract: The protein databank (PDB) contains high quality structural data for computational structural biology investigations. We have earlier described a fast tool (the decomp_pdb tool) for identifying and marking missing atoms and residues in PDB files. The tool also automatically decomposes PDB entries into separate files describing ligands and polypeptide chains. Here, we describe a web interface named DECOMP for the tool. Our program correctly identifies multi-monomer ligands, and the server also offers the preprocessed ligand-protein decomposition of the complete PDB for downloading (up to size: 5GB) AVAILABILITY: http://decomp.pitgroup.org.
