This software is a user interface that can examine multiple proteins simultaneously.
Swiss-PdbViewer is closely linked to Swiss-Model, an automated homology modeling server developed by the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB) with the Structural Bioinformatics Group at the Biozentrum in Basel in collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline R&D. The two programs working together greatly reduces the amount of work required to generate models. Users can thread a protein primary sequence onto a 3D template and instantly receive feedback on how well the threaded protein will be accepted by the reference structure before submitting a request to build missing loops and refine sidechain packing.
Swiss-PdbViewer is also capable of reading electron density maps and offers users various tools to build into the density. Additionally, the software comes with several modeling tools, and command files for popular energy minimization packages can be generated with ease.
In conclusion, Swiss-PdbViewer is an excellent software tool for protein analysis, enabling users to carry out their work quickly and efficiently. Its easy-to-use interface and wide range of features make it an essential tool for scientists and researchers in the field.
