PySSA

PySSA combines ColabFold and PyMOL to enable protein sequence-to-structure prediction, alignment, and visual analysis.

Key Features:

• Protein structure prediction: Predicts protein 3D structures from amino acid sequences using ColabFold.
• Protein structure alignment: Performs alignments of predicted or existing protein 3D structures.
• Visual analysis: Enables visual analysis with distance diagrams and hotspot inspection using PyMOL.
• Workflow project management: Supports creation and sharing of workflow projects comprising defined prediction and analysis steps.

Scientific Applications:

• Protein mutation studies: Evaluates structural effects of mutations, as demonstrated with the BMP2-2Hep-7M mutant intended to be less prone to aggregation.
• Protein chemistry research: Supports protein structure prediction and analysis for scientific research in protein chemistry.
• Molecular biology research: Facilitates protein structure prediction and analysis for molecular biology applications.

Methodology:

PySSA integrates ColabFold for protein sequence-to-structure prediction and PyMOL for molecular structure visualization and analysis.
