mkdssp(1) User Commands mkdssp(1) NAME mkdssp - Assign secondary structure to proteins SYNOPSIS mkdssp [OPTION] input [output] DESCRIPTION The DSSP program was designed by Wolfgang Kabsch and Chris Sander to stan- dardize secondary structure assignment. DSSP is a database of secondary structure assignments (and much more) for all protein entries in the Pro- tein Data Bank (PDB). mkdssp is the program that calculates DSSP entries from PDB entries. mkdssp does not predict secondary structure. The original DSSP program wrote output in a fixed format, this version by default writes annotated mmCIF files, storing the secondary structure in- formation in the _struct_conf category. Since version 4.0 the mkdssp program also assigns PPII helices. OPTIONS The input file can be either mmCIF or PDB format and the file may be gzip compressed. Note that input files must be formatted correctly. E.g. PDB files must have a CRYST1 record. More info: https://www.wwpdb.org/documen- tation/file-format-content/format33/sect8.html#CRYST1 The output is optional, if omitted the output is written to stdout. If the name of the output file ends with either .gz or .bz2 the output is com- pressed accordingly. --output-format=[dssp|mmcif] If an output file is specified, the extension of the filename is used to choose to output format, but if it is unclear, mmcif is the default. Use this option to force output in either the old fixed column DSSP format or the new annotated mmCIF format. --no-dssp-categories When writing mmCIF files, suppress the output of all dssp_ cate- gories. --min-pp-stretch This option can be used to define the minimal number of residues with PHI/PSI angles within the range required to assing a PP helix. --write-other By default the new format does not write the structure information for OTHER. Use this flag to change that. --components The knowledge of compounds is loaded from the CCD file compo- nents.cif that should have been installed by libcifpp. You can over- ride that file by using this option. --extra-compounds As an addition to the standard components.cif file, you can add more files using this option. Files should be either in CCD format or should be CCP4 restraints files. --mmcif-dictionary The default mmCIF dictionary file is installed by the libcifpp li- brary but you can override it using this option. DETAILS The DSSP algorithm assings secondary structure based on the energy calcu- lated for H-bonds. Table 1.

Also the accessibility information is left out. If you think this information should be part of the output, please contact the author. AUTHOR Written by Maarten L.
