Dali Server

The Dali server provides a comparison tool for researchers that with to compare the structural similarity between a protein of interest and the other structures already solved by experimental means. Protein shape comparison improves methods for identifying protein architecture and gene function by defining the essential sequence-structure features of a protein family. This database comparse the structure of the protein, not the sequence and therefore provides a map of physical attractor regions in the abstract shape space of proteins, with implications for the processes of protein folding and evolution.
