Re: [ccp4bb] protein sequence database with conservation score annotation

2012-08-22 Thread Robbie Joosten
Dear Yuan Shang, HSSP provides multiple sequence alignments with conservation scores per position. It is originally PDB derived in the sense that a multiple sequence alignment already exists for each PDB entry. You can also make HSSP entries from sequence alone, but you should contact the HSSP

Re: [ccp4bb] Purify non-stable protein
