Did you know... LigAlign ===IMAGES=== Ligand-based alignment of 1XBB and 1OPJ Atom-to-atom mapping of ligands Alignment of 1V07 and 1HBI using heme DESCRIPTION LigAlign is a tool to compare protein active-sites and investigate ligand binding. The active-site alignment is guided by the orientation of bound ligands in the protein active sites. LigAlign supports analysis of flexible ligand via automatic fragment-based alignment: first computing a natural fragmentation of the query ligand, aligning each fragment of the query independently against the baseline, and then permitting easy visualization of each active site subcavity. We use protein-ligand complexes to compare the active sites of several proteins which interact with a chosen ligand. Beginning with a user-specified protein-ligand structure, LigAlign gathers experimental structures of other proteins bound to the ligand from the Protein Data Bank. The tool then aligns the ligands bound in the ..→
