Specification Tips:
Specification: In the selection "$1HHO,4N7N.A,B,C:5-10,LV,3AlaVal,chemicals@CA,C,C*":
"$1HHO,4N7N" uses "$" to indicate structure selection.
".A,B,C" uses "." to indicate chain selection.
":5-10,LV,3LeuVal,chemicals" uses the colon ":" to indicate residue selection. Residue selection could be residue number(5-10), one-letter IUPAC residue name abbreviations(LV), three-letter residue names(AlaVal, "3" indicates each residue name has three letters), or predefined names: "proteins", "nucleotides", "chemicals", "ions", and "water". IUPAC abbreviations can be written either as a contiguous string(e.g., ":LV"), in order to find all instances of that sequence in the structure, or they can be separated by commas(e.g., ":L,V") to select all residues of a given type in the structure(in the latter case, select all Leucine and Valine in the structure).
"@CA,C,C*" uses "@" to indicate atom name selection. "C*" selects any atom names starting with "C".
Partial definition is allowed, e.g., ":1-10" selects all residue IDs 1-10 in all chains.
Different selections can be unioned(with "or", default), intersected(with "and"), or negated(with "not"). For example, ":1-10 or :K" selects all residues 1-10 and all Lys residues. ":1-10 and :K" selects all Lys residues in the range of residue number 1-10. ":1-10 or not :K" selects all residues 1-10, which are not Lys residues.
The wild card character "X" or "x" can be used to represent any character.
Set Operation:
Users can select multiple sets in the menu "Select > Defined Sets".
Different sets can be unioned(with "or", default), intersected(with "and"), or negated(with "not"). For example, if the "Defined Sets" menu has four sets ":1-10", ":11-20", ":5-15", and ":7-8", the command "saved atoms :1-10 or :11-20 and :5-15 not :7-8" unions all residues 1-10 and 11-20 to get the residues 1-20, then intersects with the residues 5-15 to get the residues 5-15, then exclude the residues 7-8 to get the final residues 5-6 and 9-15.

Please input PDB ID for VAST+
Note: VAST+ finds other macromolecular structures that have a similar biological unit. To do this, VAST+ takes into consideration the complete set of 3D domains that VAST identified within a query structure, throughout all of its component protein molecules, and finds other macromolecular structures that have a similar set of proteins/3D domains.
PDB ID:
Pleaes input chain or PDB file for VAST
Note: VAST identifies 3D domains (substructures) within each protein structure in the Molecular Modeling Database (MMDB), and then finds other protein structures that have one or more similar 3D domains, using purely geometric criteria. You have two ways to do a VAST search.
Option 1, search with your selection (all residues are selected by default) in the loaded structures:
Option 2, search with PDB ID and chain name: PDB ID: Chain Name:
Option 3, search with a PDB file:
Submit your selection to Foldseek
1. your selection (all residues are selected by default) in the loaded structures to Foldseek web server.
2 (Optional). Once you see the structure neighbors, you can view the alignment in iCn3D by inputing a list of PDB chain IDs or AlphaFold UniProt IDs below.
The PDB chain IDs are the same as the record names such as "1HHO_A". The UniProt ID is the text between "AF-" and "-F1". For example, the UniProt ID for the record name "AF-P69905-F1-model_v4" is "P69905".
Chain ID List:
Please input an BCIF/MMTF ID

Please input a residue color file
The custom JSON file on residue colors has the following format for proteins("ALA" and "ARG") and nucleotides("G" and "A"): {"ALA":"#C8C8C8", "ARG":"#145AFF", ..., "G":"#008000", "A":"#6080FF", ...}
Residue Color File:
Please input a custom color file
The custom file for the structure has two columns separated by space or tab: residue number, and score in the range of 0-100. If you click "Apply Custom Color" button, the scores 0, 50 and 100 correspond to the three colors specified below. If you click "Apply Custom Tube", the selected residues will be displayed in a style similar to "B-factor Tube".
Custom File:
1. Score to Color: 0:50: 100: or
2.
Please input a reference number file
You can define your own reference numbers in a custom file using Excel, and then export it as a CSV file. An example file is shown below with cells separated by commas.
The first row defines the reference residue numbers, which could be any strings. The 1st cell could be anything. The rest cells are reference residue numbers (e.g., 11, 21, 10C, etc.) or empty cells. Each chain has a separate row. The first cell of the second row is the chain ID "1TUP_A". The rest cells are the corresponding real residue numbers for reference residue numbers in the first row. For example, the reference numbers for residues 100, 101, and 132 in the chain 1TUP_A are 11, 12, and 22, respectively. The fourth row shows another set of reference numners for the chain "1TUP_C". It could be a chain from a different structure.
To select all residues corresponding to the reference numbers, you can simplay replace ":" with "%" in the Specification. For example, "%12" selects the residue 101 in 1TUP_A and the residue 111 in 1TUP_B. ".A%12" has the chain "A" filter and selects the residue 101 in 1TUP_A.
All chains will be aligned to the first chain in the comma-separated chain IDs. Each chain ID has the form of PDBID_chain (e.g., 1HHO_A, case sensitive) or UniprotID (e.g., P69905 for AlphaFold structures).
Chain IDs:
(Note: To align chains in custom PDB files, you could load them in "File > Open File > PDB Files (appendable)" and click "Analysis > Defined Sets". Finally select multiple chains in Defined Sets and click "File > Realign Selection".)
Align chains
All chains will be aligned to the first chain in the comma-separated chain IDs. Each chain ID has the form of PDBID_chain (e.g., 1HHO_A, case sensitive) or UniprotID (e.g., P69905 for AlphaFold structures).

Align chains
All chains will be aligned to the first chain in the comma-separated chain IDs. Each chain ID has the form of PDBID_chain (e.g., 1HHO_A, case sensitive) or UniprotID (e.g., P69905 for AlphaFold structures).
Chain IDs:
Each alignment is defined as " | "-separated residue lists in one line. "10-50" means a range of residues from 10 to 50.
Realign residue by residue
Option 1:
Option 2:
All chains will be aligned to the first chain in the comma-separated chain IDs. Each chain ID has the form of PDBID_chain (e.g., 1HHO_A, case sensitive) or UniprotID (e.g., P69905 for AlphaFold structures).
Chain IDs:
Each alignment is defined as " | "-separated residue lists in one line. "10-50" means a range of residues from 10 to 50.
Mutation analysis
Please specify the mutations with a comma separated mutation list. Each mutation can be specified as "[uppercase PDB ID or AlphaFold UniProt ID]_[Chain Name]_[Residue Number]_[One Letter Mutant Residue]". E.g., the mutation of N501Y in the E chain of PDB 6M0J can be specified as "6M0J_E_501_Y". For AlphaFold structures, the "Chain ID" is "A". If you load a custom structure without PDB or UniProt ID, you can open "Seq. & Annotations" window and find the chain ID such as "stru_A". The part before the underscore is the structure ID, which can be used to specify the mutation such as "stru_A_...". Remember to choose "Show Mutation in: Current Page".
