3DID: Technical Information

Jmol

3did uses Jmol for the visualization of 3D structures. You need to install and enable Java as well as JavaScript for your browser in order to see the structures. Some helpful links and information:

Neato

Neato (from the Graphviz package) is used to create the networks of interaction. Clicking on a domain in the network leads you to this domain's or motif's page. Networks can be large, you may want to disable this feature if you have a slow connection. They are disabled by default for the alphabetic lists of domains.

Linking to 3DID

  • by domain name: http://3did.irbbarcelona.org/cgi-bin/query_domain_cgi.pl?draw=graph&domain=domName
  • by Pfam access code: http://3did.irbbarcelona.org/cgi-bin/query_pfamID_cgi.pl?draw=graph&id=accNum
  • by motif name: http://3did.irbbarcelona.org/cgi-bin/query_peptide_cgi.pl?draw=graph&peptide=motifName
    Note that this will work for the motifs identified in our recent publication (Stein & Aloy, PLoS Comput Biol 2010) as well as for a subset of the motifs in ELM, namely, those for which we identified 3D structures (Stein & Aloy, 2008), but not for hand-curated instances.
Leave out draw=graph if you want to link to the page without the interaction graph.
