PDBsum1: A standalone program for generating PDBsum analyses

Abstract

PDBsum1 is a standalone set of programs to perform the same structural analyses as provided by the PDBsum web server (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pdbsum). The server has pages for every entry in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and can also process user-uploaded PDB files, returning a password-protected set of pages that are retained for around 3 months. The standalone version described here allows for in-house processing and indefinite retention of the results. All data files and images are pre-generated, rather than on-the-fly as in the web version, so can be easily accessed. The program runs on Linux, Windows, and mac operating systems and is freely available for academic use at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/thornton-srv/software/PDBsum1.
