QSCOP - SCOP quantified by structural relationships

UNLABELLED The database SCOP (Structural Classification Of Proteins) has become a major resource in bioinformatics and protein science. A particular strength of SCOP is the flexibility of its rules enabling the preservation of the many details spotted by experts in the classification process. Here we endow classic SCOP Families with quantified structural information and comment on the structural diversity found in the SCOP hierarchy. AVAILABILITY Quantified SCOP (QSCOP) is available as a public WEB service. http://services.came.sbg.ac.at.
