Analytical Analyzer of Symmetries

Keywords: Bioinformatics - Structural Biology

Functional Description: Analytical Analyzer of Symmetries is a software for detection and assessment of the quality of symmetry in a protein assembly.

This software can : Detect the best axes of symmetry for any symmetry group in an assembly containing the right amount of chains, Provide the symmetry-aware RMSD for these axes, Detect the best axis of symmetry for cyclic assemblies with missing subunits, Compute the axes of symmetry with user-provided correspondences.

Release Functional Description: Version 0.7 from 3 Sep 2018: mmCIF support added. A file can be gzipped. Version 0.8 from 30 July 2019: Checks the similarity between chains. Explicitly output when an incomplete assembly is detected as symmetric. Version 0.9 from 8 Nov 2019: Added lists of excluded chains for both PDB and CIF formats.
