Introducing Hippy: A visualization tool for understanding the α-helix pair interface
نویسنده
چکیده
Hippy is a novel protein visualization tool designed to meet the needs of those who are working with contact maps for protein structure prediction, and in particular for those desiring to gain insight into the configurations and properties of pairs of alpha helices. It is the only known program that allows the simultaneous display of the structure and the contact map. Users can customize Hippy to display the side chains, contacts, and the steric surface of the helices. The program is open source; the software was implemented in OpenGL with an aim for platform independence.

A Tale of Two Helices A study of alpha helix pair conformations in three - dimensional space
This Master’s project underwent an evolution, and this thesis paper reflects that. The crux of the work involved a thorough investigation of how pairs of alpha helices are configured in three-dimensional space. The project began with a review of protein structure, and specifically the relationship between the structure of a protein and the corresponding contact map. There did not exist visualiz...
متن کاملA theoretical study on quadrupole coupling parameters of HRPII Protein modeled as 310-helix & α-helix structures
A fragment of Histidine rich protein II (HRP II 215-236) was investigated by 14N and 17O electric field gradient, EFG, tensor calculations using DFT. This study is intended to explore the differences between 310-helix and α-helix of HRPII both in the gas phase and in solution. To achieve the aims, the 17O and 14N NQR parameters of a fragment of HRPII (215-236) for both structures are calculated...
