CCL: Any alternative to the TOPS server for drawing topological diagrams for PDB files?



A quick Google search using "Tops protein server" found the following sites. The first is a new link to the new TOPS server at Glasgow. Hope this helps you. Not all links on the home page are active. David

Dear CCL list members,

first of all, sorry for cross-posting

I would like to know if there is available any webserver (or software) that can draws topological diagrams for PDB files following the idea that was implemented some years ago at the TOPS webserver (http://www.tops.leeds.ac.uk/). This server is not running since 2008 and it was quite useful in order to teach the protein architecture to my students. Currently PDBSum provides topological diagrams for PDB entries (http://kpwu.wordpress.com/2006/02/14/pdbsum-announces-topology-diagrams-for-protein-domains/) but, in my opinion, those formerly provided by TOPS where more intuitive to correlate the diagram with the folding of the domain ...

With many thanks in advances

Yours sincerely
