Introduction
OpenProspect is an Open Source Protein structure threading
program. Typically, protein threading tools are only available by
web page submissions. With OpenProspect you have the entire
program. You can even generate your own Protein Templates to
thread sequences against. Once a sequence has been aligned to
a library of template, there are tools to analysis the features
of the alignments to help you pick out the best one. And after
that there are tools to help you convert to the proper format,
for that you can work with Modeller
or Nest.
But more then that, OpenProspect is a Library of Protein Sequence/Structure functions avalible through a a C++/Python API. You can open FASTA, PsiPred, PDB, or Prospect files, and manipulate them. There is code for Surface Area Prediction, DSSP based assignment, feature equation parsing, OpenGL rasterisation, and structural alignment.
