Project description
BioMetAll is a command line application to allow the identification of metal-binding sites in proteins from backbone preorganization.
Features
Different options to customize the search:
sites with a minimum of coordinating amino acids
sites with a custom combination of coordinating amino acids
taking into account coordinations with backbone oxygen atoms (or only with the side chains)
scanning the whole protein or only a region of interest
Search for a structural motif and propose mutations:
scan the structure to search a specific motif (e.g. HIS,HIS,ASP/GLU)
propose mutations to complete the motif (e.g. having a HIS,HIS motif, search for mutations to complete with either a GLU or an ASP)
Possible applications
screening of a pool of .pdb structures
identification of conformational changes that alter the formation of metal-binding sites
metalloenzyme design
A more complete overview of the capabilities of the program, illustrated with several case studies, is available in our ChemRxiv preprint.
