SECTION (VI) DEJAVU

Q.601 - What is DEJAVU ?

DEJAVU can be used for three purposes:

1. finding proteins in the PDB which contain a particular motif that also occurs on your protein
2. finding proteins in the PDB which display structural similarity to your protein
3. the new, exiting (and as yet undocumented) option to use strands and helices from your SKELETON (i.e., without you even knowing their direction or connectivity !) to find similar proteins in the PDB. This option requires some new options in O and will be documented when these options are in place.

DEJAVU comes complete with SSE databases, C-shell scripts and various pre- and post-processing programs. LSQMAN, our least-squares superpositioning program, is also included.
