ProBiS-Web Server RESTful Web Services

The ProBiS-Web Server features RESTful (REpresentational State Transfer) Web Services to make the binding site similarities and local pairwise alignments for any PDB protein structure easily accessible from your scripts. Full set of commands and useful examples are listed below.
Pairwise Alignment of PDB Structures Examples: Align two entire PDB structures: /rest/align?structure_id1=1all.A&structure_id2=3dbj.C Align two binding sites (defined as residues in 7 Å radius of ligands): /rest/align?structure_id1=1all.A&bsite1=CYC.175.A.7&structure_id2=3dbj.C&bsite2=CYC.201.C.7 Align two entire PDB structures and return superimposition PDB file: /rest/align?structure_id1=1all.A&structure_id2=3dbj.C&return=pdb Specification: structure_id1, structure_id2 - Specifies the PDB/Chain ID(s) of PDB structures to compare (ex. 1all.A, 3dbj.C). For two chains use 1all.AB, 3dbj.CD. bsite1, bsite2 (optional) - Specifies the binding sites to compare (ex. CYC.175.A.7, CYC.201.C.7). E.g., CYC - ligand name, 175 - ligand number, A - chain id, 7 - radius in Angstroms to select residues around ligand. If omitted, entire PDB structures are aligned. return (optional) - Specifies the return type, which can be pdb, json, or xml. The default is xml.
Detect Similar Proteins or Binding Sites in the Non-redundant PDB Caution: Examples in this section require all CPUs of the ProBiS-web server, and can load several minutes depending on the server work load. Examples: Search the non-redundant PDB (nr-PDB) with a query protein: /rest/scan?structure_id=5cyt.R Search the nr-PDB with a binding site (defined as residues in a 5 Å radius of a ligand): /rest/scan?structure_id=5cyt.R&bsite=HEM.105.R.5 Search the nr-PDB with a query protein and return alignments with Z-Score>2.0 in json format: /rest/scan?structure_id=5cyt.R&z_score=2.0&return=json Specification: structure_id - Specifies the PDB/Chain ID(s) of the query PDB structure to be compared with all proteins in the nr-PDB (ex. 5cyt.R). bsite (optional) - Specifies the query binding site to search against nr-PDB (ex. HEM.105.R.5). E.g., HEM - ligand name, 105 - ligand number, R - chain id, 5 - radius in Angstroms to select residues around ligand. If omitted, entire PDB structure is considered as a query. z_score (optional) - Specifies the cutoff Z-Score; alignments with Z-Score>cutoff will be returned. The default is 1.0. return (optional) - Specifies the return type, which can be json or xml. The default is xml.
