FoldIndex© can be automatized:
FoldIndex can be used as a Web Service for remote and automatic data processing
by accessing this URL:
http://bioportal.weizmann.ac.il/fldbin/findex?m=xml&sq=SEQUENCE
where m is either xml or efam, as described below, and
sq is the one character code protein sequence, no spaces.
Here a simple working perl
script using this technique.
The server will send back the result the XML format requested by the user.
1. If the m (mode) parameter is set to xml, FoldIndex© will send back
the results in XML format (DTD, sample
XML).
2. If the m (mode) parameter is set to efam, FoldIndex© will send back
the results in
eFamily
compatible format.
Cross-referencing FoldIndex:
You may use either a UniProt or PDB id instead of a sequence for a
direct Cross-Reference to FoldIndex. These examples demonstrate how to
indicate the sequence to work on. You may combine this with any of the
other options (ie: eFam or xml output, window size):
sequence of chain B from PDB entry 2JBH
http://bip.weizmann.ac.il/fldbin/findex?sq=pdb:2jbh_b
sequence from UniProt P77990
http://bip.weizmann.ac.il/fldbin/findex?sq=uniprot:P77990
