PROTEP is a powerful method for finding 3-D relationships among protein structures based on secondary structural elements. The program searches for similar structural regions as well as identical protein structures within the entire Brookhaven Protein Data Bank (PDB) in a matter of minutes. PROTEP rapidly uncovers relationships not found by amino acid sequence searching. Developed by Professor Peter Willett and Drs. Pete Artymiuk and David Rice at the University of Sheffield, PROTEP automates the procedure of comparing a newly determined structure with the PDB, leaving more time for protein researchers to analyze results.
