New Paper: Precalculated Protein Structure Alignments at the RCSB PDB website

Bioinformatics just made our latest paper available as an early preview:
Precalculated Protein Structure Alignments at the RCSB-PDB website

ABSTRACT
Summary: With the continuous growth of the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB), Berman et al. (2000), providing an up-to-date systematic structure comparison of all protein structures poses an ever growing challenge. Here we present a comparison tool for calculating both 1D protein sequence and 3D protein structure alignments. This tool supports various applications at the RCSB PDB website. First, a structure alignment web service calculates pairwise alignments. Second, a stand-alone application runs alignments locally and visualizes the results. Third, pre-calculated 3D structure comparisons for the whole PDB are provided and updated on a weekly basis. These three applications allow users to discover novel relationships between proteins available either at the RCSB PDB or provided by the user.

Availability and Implementation: A web user interface is available at
