3DNALandscapes: a database for exploring the conformational features of DNA
2009
Nucleic Acids Research
3DNALandscapes, located at: http://3DNAscapes .rutgers.edu, is a new database for exploring the conformational features of DNA. ...
In contrast to most structural databases, which archive the Cartesian coordinates and/or derived parameters and images for individual structures, 3DNALandscapes enables searches of conformational information ...

ENCoM server: exploring protein conformational space and the effect of mutations on protein function and stability
2015
Nucleic Acids Research
The inclusion of this layer of information was shown to improve conformational space sampling and apply for the first time a coarse-grained normal mode analysis method to predict the effect of single point ...
ENCoM is a coarse-grained normal mode analysis method recently introduced that unlike previous such methods is unique in that it accounts for the nature of amino acids. ...
Normal modes provide a means to generate conformational ensembles. However, care needs to be taken in the details of how the exploration of the relevant modes is performed. ...
