Foldzilla is a database of fold-specific structural motifs developed by
researchers at the
Institute of Biomedical Sciences,
Academia Sinica. This
database is derived by discovering structural motifs for each of the folds in
the SCOP40 database. It aims at identifying potentially functional motifs in a
protein structure, and providing functional annotation where possible. The users can upload a PDB structure or specify which PDB id they want to
query. Foldzilla then identifies the structural motifs and visualizes the motifs
in the 3D structure. The users can also specify to review the structural motifs
related to certain folds or superfamilies which serve as the signatures of the fold. For details, please contact: Dr. Ming-Jing Hwang at the
Bioinformatics Lab.
