2: Tips and Tricks
Sequence-to-Model in the Fast Lane: On any
Swiss-Prot
entry display, a click on the button "Submit a homology modeling
request to SWISS-MODEL" will result in sequence comparison information
and a homologous model for the entry. The button is the last of five
located at the very bottom of the Swiss-Prot display.
This section is always open for
contributions. Click for Introduction
and tips and tricks in Crystallization, Post-crystallization
treatments for improving diffraction quality of protein crystals,
Derivatization, Diffraction, Symmetry, Structure
Solution, Structure
Refinement, and Structure
Analysis.
